BASF launches paper coating dispersions with reduced Product Carbon Footprint designed to enable cost-effective CO₂ reduction

09/24/2026

BASF is launching a portfolio of dispersions for paper coating with a reduced Product Carbon Footprint (rPCF). Paper coating binders produced at the Ludwigshafen Verbund site are now available with approximately 20% to 45% lower Product Carbon Footprints* than the corresponding conventional products. These new rPCF dispersions use several levers including low-PCF raw materials. They are designed to support customers in lowering emissions in the 'Purchased Goods and Services' category and working toward their Scope 3.1 carbon reduction targets. The carbon footprints of the products are calculated according to the guidance issued by the Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative and TÜV Rheinland has certified the conformance of BASF's calculation methodology with this standard.
