BASF and Lactips signed an exclusive contract to market Lactips\u2019 water-soluble, bio-based and fully biodegradable material. This long-term partnership supports BASF\u2019s strategy to leverage sustainable solutions to drive business growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

BASF and Lactips will bring in their respective expertise to offer this innovative technology to the home care as well as industrial and institutional (I&I) market. While Lactips, a young, French company in the area of biodegradable plastics, focuses on the development of the film material technology based on technical casein obtained from excess of milk protein production, BASF will bring in its expertise in network and supply chain to market the product. The solution of Lactips aims on the replacement of polyvinyl alcohol films in home care and I&I applications, such as dishwasher tabs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability plays a major role in all of our business processes,\u201d states Robert Parker, Director, New Business Development at Care Chemicals, BASF. \u201cLactips\u2019 solution for films for dishwasher tabs supplements our existing portfolio of sustainable offerings. It allows us to provide our customers with a broad portfolio of bio-degradable products for the home care industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLactips is proud to have its technology marketed by a leading global partner with a strong network,\u201d said Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Gramatikoff, CEO Lactips. \u201cWe will benefit from BASF\u2019s experience and latest developments in the home care industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
