With a <sub>14<\/sub>C-traceable bio content of 40% according to DIN EN 16640 and a low Product Carbon Footprint (PCF<sup>1<\/sup>), bio-based EA from BASF helps customers worldwide to reach their sustainability goals. The product offers a PCF reduction of ~30% compared to fossil-based EA. Additionally to regular bio-based EA, BASF also offers bio-based Ethyl Acrylate BMB ISCC Plus. Here, the remaining carbon content originated from fossil based acrylic acid is ISCC PLUS certified, and by applying BASF\u2019s biomass balance (BMB<sup>2<\/sup>) approach, this variant offers a further reduced product carbon footprint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BASF\u2019s bio-based Ethyl Acrylate uses sustainable bioethanol predominantly from European sources with grain as a feedstock. BASF applies strict sustainability criteria for the material use of biomass. The bioethanol purchased by BASF does not compete with food production: Bioethanol is mainly produced from residues of starch production, lower quality grains or molasses, all of which are not used in food production. Grains that are neither suitable for use as food nor feed can also be used for bioethanol production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Das biobasierte Ethylacrylat der BASF setzt \u00fcberwiegend nachhaltiges Bioethanol aus europ\u00e4ischen Quellen mit Getreide als Rohstoff ein. BASF setzt strenge Nachhaltigkeitskriterien f\u00fcr die stoffliche Nutzung von Biomasse an. Das von BASF gekaufte Bioethanol steht in keiner Konkurrenz zur Lebensmittelproduktion: Bioethanol wird haupts\u00e4chlich aus Reststoffen der St\u00e4rkeproduktion, minderwertigem Getreide oder Melasse hergestellt, die allesamt nicht in der Lebensmittelproduktion verwendet werden k\u00f6nnen. Getreide, das weder als Lebens- noch als Futtermittel geeignet ist, kann ebenfalls f\u00fcr die Bioethanolproduktion eingesetzt werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bio-based EA offers a broad application range and can be used in a wide variety of polymer dispersion applications, with the Coatings and Adhesives industries as the primary target industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BASF\u2019s bio-based Ethyl Acrylate is \u2018OK biobased\u20193 certified by T\u00dcV Austria since March 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>1 <\/sup><sub>BASF\u2019s product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations for conventional products follow the requirements and guidance given by ISO 14067:2018. A T\u00dcV Rheinland methodology review has certified that the SCOTT PCF methodology developed and used by BASF SE is based on scientific evidence, meets ISO 14067:2018 and the Together for Sustainability PCF policy, and reflects the state of the art (ID no. 0000080389: BASF SE \u2013 Certipedia). T\u00dcV Rheinland also confirms that the biomass balance (BMB) PCF calculation method and the associated PCF reduction for BMB-certified products follow the conventional LCA method in accordance with ISO 14067 and the Together for Sustainability (TfS) policy.<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>2 <\/sup><sub>Find out more about BASF\u2019s biomass balance approach at: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.basf.com\/global\/en\/who-we-are\/sustainability\/we-drive-sustainable-solutions\/circular-economy\/mass-balance-approach\/biomass-balance.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.basf.com\/global\/en\/who-we-are\/sustainability\/we-drive-sustainable-solutions\/circular-economy\/mass-balance-approach\/biomass-balance.html<\/a><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>3<\/sup><sub>Find out more about the \u2018OK biobased\u2019 certification here: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.tuv.at\/ok-biobased-en\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/en.tuv.at\/ok-biobased-en\/<\/a><\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BASF gives a clear sign towards biotransformation of their (Meth)Acrylate portfolio and switches their production to bio-based Ethyl Acrylate (EA) starting Q4 2024.
