BASF will use interpack 2026 to present a broad portfolio of materials, adhesives and recycling-oriented systems aimed at modern packaging applications, with a particular focus on solutions aligned with changing regulatory and end-of-life requirements.
The company, together with its European distribution organisation BTC Europe, will exhibit in Hall 10, Stand A44 at the Düsseldorf trade fair from May 7 to 13, 2026. Its presence will centre on material solutions, product innovations and systems designed to support more recycling-friendly packaging concepts across a range of industrial sectors.
Among the main technologies BASF plans to highlight is its polyamide packaging offering under the Ultramid brand. This includes Ultramid Ccycled for food packaging and other sensitive applications, alongside Ultramid H, which BASF describes as the first thermoplastic polyamide with high water permeability.
Adhesives will form another major part of the company’s presentation. BASF said it will showcase water-based Epotal laminating adhesives intended to support easier separation of materials in PET-based multilayer packaging and to help produce safe recyclates from mono-material films without harmful substances such as primary aromatic amines. The company will also present acResin label adhesives, designed to be easily removed from PET and glass bottles, as well as Acronal RCF water-based dispersions for paper and cardboard packaging.
In printing inks and coatings, BASF will feature water-based Joncryl resins for inks and barrier coatings used in paper-based packaging. According to the company, these applications are designed to be fully repulpable and compatible with current paper recycling protocols. BASF added that the use of bio-based, mass-balanced or chemcycled raw materials can also contribute to lower CO2 emissions.
The booth will also include ecovio, BASF’s certified home-compostable biopolymer, which the company said is suitable for a wide range of flexible and rigid packaging formats. These include ultra-thin biaxially stretched films with optical properties as well as high-barrier packaging for fast-moving consumer goods, with applications intended for either organic or paper recycling streams.
BASF said the solutions on display are intended to address requirements across the packaging value chain, including those emerging from the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. The portfolio spans several end-of-life routes, from organic recycling to mechanical recycling, and is positioned for customers in segments including food, pet food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, non-food and industrial goods.
