Pinqponq
Thanks to BASF’s Ultramid Ccycled, a mass-balanced polyamide that supports the use of alternative raw materials from chemical recycling of plastic waste, the new “Pendik” bike bag from the Pinqponq brand by baesiq GmbH (Cologne, Germany) has a significantly lower CO2 footprint. At the beginning of production in Ludwigshafen, BASF used pyrolysis oil from old tires to replace all of the fossil fuels needed to make the product. Using a certified mass balance method, Ultramid Ccycled products are assigned the proportion of recycled raw materials.
“With Ultramid Ccycled, we offer our clients a decreased CO2 footprint for their item with a similar quality as the conventional counterpart. Frank Reil, Head of Marketing and New Business Development & Sustainability Polyamides at BASF, says, “We are also excited about the other bag collections that will be launched in fall. We are actively advancing the topic of circular economy with our partner pinqponq.”
The materials utilized are innovative and practical, and importantly, economical. Pinqponq will include the “bike” product category, which is designed to make urban commuting easier, in the summer of 2023. The “Pendik” model is a bike rack-compatible two-in-one bag. Its Ultramid Ccycled fabric has a fashionable matte appearance and a soft cotton-like feel, but it still has the same robust performance advantages as conventionally produced polyamide.
