Outdoor brand Vaude has partnered with BASF to use the chemical giant’s ‘net-zero carbon footprint’ polyamide (PA) for its new range of biking accessories.

Ultramid ZeroPCF PA 6 is manufactured from biomethane and bio-based feedstock from used cooking oil rather than fossil-fuel-based raw materials and is produced using renewable electricity from the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm.
