ChemCycling® transforms waste tires into valuable feedstock, which we then use in our certified Ccycled® products. This innovative process diverts waste from landfills and incineration, converting it into raw materials that can fuel creation of new, high-quality products. Embracing the Mass Balance approach, we drive a circular economy, slashing fossil raw material usage, cutting waste, and reducing CO₂ emissions. That makes real eSense.

Carbon footprint data is based on assumptions and approximations valid at the time of data collection. \*\*\* For each 5l can Clear Coat, two end-of-life tires are recycled into pyrolysis oil, substituting fossil feedstock via mass balance. \*\*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](https://www.basf.com/global/en/who-we-are/sustainability/we-drive-sustainable-solutions/quantifying-sustainability/product-carbon-footprint). eSense 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products, 100% of the feedstock required for these products (chemical product only, excluding packaging material) have been replaced by renewable or recycled resources.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 eSense products are independently certified according to the RedCert² standard (BASF certification number REDcert²-929-35372286). For more information, please visit[ this page](https://www.redcert.eu). When reference is made to CO₂ savings 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.
