Headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany, BASF has customers in over 190 countries and supplies products to a wide variety of industries. A company this large has the resources to lead in plastic waste management and they are doing it by emphasizing compostability over mere biodegradability. Their two polymer groups - ecoflex and ecovio - are both certified compostable, the only difference being the ecoflex includes fossil stocks, whereas ecovio is bioplastics. BASF showcased their ecovio technology by producing the world's first compostable coffee capsule.
