Sustainability: Saving of fossil resources and climate protection
Raw materials: diversification of the raw material base
Opportunities: Customer / consumer demand and regulations
Competitiveness: product with a certain performance not accessible or at higher cost or market demand

Vision 2050: a world in which nine billion people can live well, and within the planet’s resources
Four main drivers are influencing BASFs renewable-based portfolio.
Different approaches to a renewable-based portfolio
08.05.18 | Renewable Raw Materials and renewable-based products3
Biomass balance products, e.g.n Polyurethanes
n Polyamides
n Acronal Dispersions
n Polystyrol
Products only accessible from renewables, e.g.n Oleochemicals
n Furandicarboxylic Acid
n Enzymes
n Schizophyllan (Biopolymer)
RRM-based drop-ins, e.g.n 1,4-Butanediol
n Succinic acid
n Vitamin B2
n Beta-carotin
BASF purchases a broad range of renewable raw materials

~ 5% of BASF’s total raw material purchase are renewables.
Growing demand, renewable raw materials not per se sustainable
Hotspots in renewable raw materials (RRM)
08.05.18 | Renewable Raw Materials and renewable-based products5
Deforestation
Agricultural Commodity Culture
Palm Sugar Grain Wood
Palm and palm kernel oil
08.05.18 | Renewable Raw Materials and renewable-based products6
Unique chemical properties make substitution unfeasible to date
Supply chain complexity challenges traceability
Wide-spread use in personal care and food applications
Plantations cause deforestation and related issues of concern
Palm is an example for the sustainability dilemma of renewables.
How do we work on our journey to Sustainable Palm?
