The global polyurethanes market reached nearly 26 million tons in 2022 and is projected to grow to 31 million tons by 2030. As a long-time industry leader, BASF continues to innovate in polyurethane applications, prioritizing sustainability. While PU materials help reduce energy use and emissions—especially in insulation—they are currently part of a linear production model that generates waste and CO₂. BASF advocates for a shift to a circular economy, emphasizing renewable energy and efficient recycling methods to minimize environmental impact and support global sustainability goals.
