Examples of customer partnership projects
Environmentally friendly wastewater treatment
Eco-efficient milk packaging
Reduction of odour nuisance
Need
A client from the automotive industry introduced a new coating process which caused an additional 150.000 liters of wastewater per day.
The BASF wastewater experts developed a system to solve the problem - as a result the automobile manufacturer could switch to the new coating process as scheduled.
Need
A dairy producer is looking for the most ecological and profitable milk packaging solution.
Our Contribution
BASF‘s eco-efficiency analysis contributed to the political decision to exclude certain plastic containers from the deposit system.
Need
An Italian customer was faced with massive complaints from neighbours and the authorities about an odour nuisance arising from his plant.
Our Contribution
With BASF’s support technical and organizational improvements could be identified and implemented. The odour was eliminated and good relations with neighbours and authorities were restored.
Our Contribution
Conclusions
Potential for further Success
More than 350 projects since the beginning of the Initiative

As a downstream user of chemicals in the EU, it is usually sufficient to verify whether your use is covered in the extended safety data sheet. You must also adhere to the risk reduction measures described there (e. g. protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation)
Assessment of current situation
The downstream user decides whether he
…. informs his supplier for assessing the use and including it in the safety data sheet; Communication with supplier and training if necessary Assistance for the supplier with fulfilling his REACH obligationsor…. would like the use to be assessed independently of the supplier; Assessment of uses Support when communicating with authorities
