BASFは、製品カーボンフットプリントを削減した紙塗工用ディスパージョンの新ポートフォリオを発売した。顧客が実用的かつ費用対効果の高い方法で排出量を削減できるようにするものだ。BASFのルートヴィヒスハーフェン・フェアブント拠点で製造されるこれらの製品は、対応する従来品と比べて製品カーボンフットプリントがおよそ20~45%低い。この低炭素型ディスパージョンは、低炭素型の原材料や再生可能電力、低炭素型蒸気といったグリーンユーティリティを用いることで、紙・板紙メーカーが購入物品・サービス区分の排出量を削減し、スコープ3.1の炭素削減目標を前進させることを支援するよう設計されている。製品はマスバランス方式を用いて同拠点で製造され、従来の原材料やユーティリティの一定割合を低炭素型の代替品に置き換えることで、BASFは製造プロセス自体を変えることなく削減分を低炭素型製品に割り当てることができる。また、このディスパージョンはドロップインソリューションとして機能するため、顧客は再認定を受けることなく移行できる。BASFはTogether for Sustainabilityイニシアチブのガイダンスに従って製品カーボンフットプリントを算定しており、TÜV RheinlandはBASFの算定方法が同基準に適合していることを認証している。
