BASF: Pursuing a sustainable future

This year, BASF opened three innovation centers in the Asia Pacific region
, located in Shanghai, China, Tokyo, Japan, and Mumbai, India. These three innovation centers are designed to turn creative concepts into innovative solutions. So how can BASF meet current and future needs by creating new chemical roles, and how can innovation centers empower Asian customers? These questions were answered by Bao Leiwei, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, BASF's

.
Link Inspiration and Solutions
on BASF's innovation efforts in Asia, mr. Bao said, "We want to create an environment that inspires inspiration and exploration and helps brands, businesses and manufacturers discover new possibilities." In this special collaboration space, we will provide a wide range of high-quality resources, including BASF Innovative Materials Solutions, to assist designers, engineers and developers in creating new products with BASF's Innovative Materials Solutions to support new design needs in the market. China
play a crucial role in this. Mr Bao said China dominated global chemical production, with 40 per cent of global chemical output coming from China and even half by 2030. In this general trend, chemicals drive current and future needs and must be driven by research and development, development and innovation. BASF's Innovation Park in Shanghai is the headquarters of the Global Technology Platform for Advanced Materials and Systems Research, and since 2012 BASF's total investment in shanghai Innovation Park has been close to EUR 180 million.
product development towards end-use
BASF's innovation centers are based on chemically innovative solutions that contribute to sustainable development across a wide range of industries. Its innovative solutions are based on solving life's problems and are reflected in every aspect of life.
's goal is to contribute to creating a better world, said Mr. Bao. "We create new chemical roles in the pursuit of a sustainable future. In terms of environmental and soil-related solutions, BASF helps meet the challenge of garbage sieges with garbage bags made of biodegradable ecovio, and biodegradable film made with ecovio that breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass in the soil to prevent white pollution. In terms of solutions related to water conservation, BASF's Elastopave system can be used to build sponge cities by laying strong, permeable and breathable pavements. BASF's Multibore's porous ultrafiltration membrane effectively filters particulate matter, blocks microorganisms in water and provides clean water. In
solutions for clean air, BASF's New Formaldpure catalysts remove formaldehyde quickly and contribute to a healthy indoor living environment. BASF's PremAir BLD ozone catalyst technology, which removes ozone at high speeds at room temperature, is used to improve indoor air quality and is widely used in a wide range of portable large air purification equipment. BASF's FWC catalytic technology effectively removes particulate matter, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from gasoline engines, helping automakers meet The Six Nations emission standards.
the future of "coplastic" with different divisions of labor
said Bao Leiwei, BASF's innovation center aims to meet the needs of the market, as well as a number of prototype research centers. The focus of the innovation center is to be local and local, and the innovation centers everywhere will be focused. However, there will also be linkages between innovation centres, such as in the Asia Pacific region, which will work with innovation centres in the US and Europe to meet the needs of markets around the world.
future, industrial design is being more and more important, designers in the selection of materials, surface treatment, texture and other sensory requirements are increasingly driven by industrial designers. Basf Innovation Center will interact more with the designer field to support their material selection.
