EcoBalance Technologies
Go green. Drive efficiency with EcoBalance.
Two technologies. One happier planet.
At Glasurit, we’re always pushing what’s possible empowering your bodyshop to lead the change with green technologies. EcoBalance products do just that by reducing the impact on the environment and helping to cut CO2 – yet still guaranteeing you a smooth, quick and efficient workflow, with top quality products. There are two advanced technologies we’ve developed to achieve this – one is Biomass Balance, the other is Ccycled®, both are radically adjusting the balance of sustainable products.
Your Impact.
You are in the driver's seat.
Cultivate sustainability in your business.
**BASF product carbon footprints are calculated following the requirements and guidelines of ISO 14067:2018 and Together for Sustainability (TfS). The product carbon footprints for biomass balance products are assessed cradle to gate, i.e. without CO2 emissions caused during product application and end-of-life treatment. Our product carbon footprint data is based on assumptions and approximations valid at the time of data collection. For ChemCycling products, product carbon footprint benefits for the recycled feedstock can be generated via displaced end of life (e.g., incineration) following the upstream system expansion approach (USE). For more information visit this page.
Eco Balance products contribute to reducing the use of fossil resources and reducing the CO2 emissions via the mass balance approach. In BASF’s mass balance approach, renewable or recycled raw materials are used when manufacturing primary chemical products and are fed into the production Verbund. The proportion of bio-based or recycled raw materials is then arithmetically assigned to certain sales products according to a certified method. For our mass balance products, 100% of the feedstock required for these products (chemical product only, excluding packaging material) have been replaced by renewable or recycled resources. All our Eco Balance products are independently certified according to the RedCert² standard (BASF certification number REDcert²-929-35372286). For more information, please visit this page. When reference is made to CO2savings per traveled kilometer, a standard CO2 emission of 95 grams per travelled car kilometer is assumed.
References to equivalent numbers of end-of-life tires refer to a standard tire of 8.8 KG and an assumption of the available tire mass for pyrolysis and a conversion factor for the pyrolysis process. You can find more information about BASF’s mass balance approach on this page.
