Waste results from community and household activities, but of course also from industrial manufacturing processes. Often the amount of waste is an indication whether materials are used efficiently. Facing a growing world population and also limited resources, our society needs answers on how we can minimize waste to preserve our earth. Besides optimizing use of raw materials e.g., through BASF’s Verbund system, we at Fuel and Lubricant Solutions provide products that directly or indirectly support the reduction of waste.
