The collaboration between Graphit Kropfmühl and BASF is set to revolutionize the industry with a groundbreaking agreement to reduce their product carbon footprint. BASF, a global leader in sustainable solutions, will supply renewable energy certificates to Graphit Kropfmühl’s production site in Hauzenberg, Germany, in a move that will significantly lower the carbon footprint of graphite production.
By utilizing renewable energy certificates, Graphit Kropfmühl aims to reduce the product carbon footprint of its graphite by at least 25 percent. This eco-friendly graphite will then be used by BASF in the production of Neopor®, a key component in insulation products for buildings. This initiative marks a significant step towards sustainability and climate protection.
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with BASF through this innovative concept that will help us reduce our product carbon footprint and work towards a more sustainable future,” said Thomas Junker, CEO of Graphit Kropfmühl. The collaboration aligns with BASF’s commitment to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, showcasing their dedication to environmental responsibility.
The joint efforts of Graphit Kropfmühl and BASF highlight the importance of cooperation in achieving sustainability goals. By reducing the carbon footprint of their products, both companies are paving the way for a greener future and setting a new standard for the industry. This innovative agreement serves as a testament to the power of partnership in driving positive change for the environment.
