22-Jan-26 BASF pioneering sustainable solutions across the three phases of #OurPlasticsJourney
Solutions include high-performance materials to advanced recycling technologies for a circular future
BASF will present a broad portfolio of sustainable performance materials, innovative applications, and advanced product solutions at PlastIndia 2026, New Delhi from Feb 5 - Feb 10, 2026. By showcasing exhibits across the ‘Make’, ‘Use’ and ‘Recycle’ phases, BASF underscores its commitment to driving sustainability, enabling circularity, and delivering high-performance solutions across many industries including automotive, eMobility, packaging, consumer electronics, medical, footwear, and industrial applications.
At PlastIndia 2026, BASF will showcase its commitment to sustainability and innovation along the plastics journey, presenting examples in the three phases:
MAKE phase of #OurPlasticsJourney
Creation Center Materials Trends: BASF’s Creation Centers integrate global design trends with material innovations, setting new benchmarks for aesthetics and functional performance in diverse applications.
Ultrasim® Simulation Technology: Ultrasim enables accurate prediction of material behavior, helping customers optimize plastic part design for lightweight, verifying mechanical properties, reducing prototyping time and supporting sustainability goals.
Bio-based Mobile Cover with Elastollan® N: A mobile phone cover made from Elastollan N (53% bio-based TPU) offers durability, clarity, UV resistance, and anti-yellowing properties, delivering eco-friendly performance without compromising quality.
USE phase of #OurPlasticsJourney
Automotive & eMobility Solutions: BASF offers advanced material solutions for automotive and eMobility, delivering high mechanical strength, electrical insulation, rotation stability, and efficient cooling. Key innovations include battery pack concepts, E-Drive demonstrators, thermal safety components, and adhesives for power electronics.
Medical Applications with Elastollan TPU: Elastollan TPU enables biocompatible, flexible, and durable wound dressings with extended shelf life. BASF’s portfolio also supports medical devices like tubes, catheters, and wearables, ensuring safer, more sustainable healthcare solutions.
Elastollan TPU 3D Mesh Pillow: A recyclable TPU pillow with breathable mesh design enhances airflow for cooler, hygienic sleep. Featuring anti-bacterial and anti-hydrolysis properties, it offers durability, washability, and eco-friendly comfort.
Evolution of VALERAS® portfolio: BASF’s additive solutions and services advance sustainability throughout the plastics lifecycle and enable transformation across industries.
Agricultural films: Tinuvin® NOR® protects agricultural films from agrochemicals and harsh weather, supporting sustainable plasticulture. To experience the films first-hand, explore BASF’s real-life greenhouse near hall 5.
Floating solar pontoons: Tinuvin can extend the float life of floating solar pontoons beyond 30 years, reducing replacement costs for the float.
Power cables: Irgastab® Cable KV 10 boosts the performance and lifespan of mid- and high-voltage cables for reliable transmission.
Rotomolded tanks: Productivity during processing can be improved by Irgastab which also enhances energy efficiency and durability.
Recycle phase of #OurPlasticsJourney
TPU Concept Shoe: A fully TPU-based concept shoe using Elastollan, Freeflex®, and Hotbond eliminates adhesives and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enabling recyclability and zero-waste design. Supercritical Fluid (SCF) direct-injection technology ensures comfort, durability, and design freedom for next-generation footwear.
Upcycled Chess Set: A chess set crafted from upcycled engineering plastics and Haptex ® — an innovative polyurethane (PU) solution made without the use of solvents — showcases circularity and resource efficiency. It demonstrates how post-consumer waste can be transformed into durable, high-value products for everyday use.
