The chemical industry does not have the best reputation in terms of its environmentally-friendly image, but that could change very soon thanks to German chemical company BASF, which has gone beyond being carbon neutral.

Claiming to be the world’s first company to present a comprehensive carbon balance for its operations, BASF has reported that its products actually save three times more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire amount caused by the production and disposal of its products. These figures have also been confirmed by an independent third party, the Öko-Institut in Freiburg, Germany.
