BASF has joined two Ellen MacArthur Foundation programmes to further advance its existing circular economy solutions.
Founded in 2010, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation works with businesses, government and academia to support an economy that is ‘restorative and regenerative’.
Dirk Voeste, Vice President Sustainability Strategy at BASF, said: “The circular economy is much more than waste management. It requires substantial changes in terms of behavior and technology use. Circular economy thinking cannot be restricted to a company’s own operations.
“A smart circular economy concept has to be integrated within product development, production processes, use and re-use systems right from the beginning.”
