Climate Change with Net Zero Homes podcast now becomesImpact Makers: the Power of Homes and Buildings.
In this series, Michael Lotfy Gierges, Executive Vice President Home & Distribution at Schneider Electric, invites global CEOs, key opinion leaders, industrial analysts, innovators, energy optimists of all sorts, and we’ll talk on how to reduce carbon emissions in homes and buildings, how we can leverage smart technology and digital innovation so that we can collectively work towards the goal of limiting temperature rise to 1,5 degrees.
 

With Patrick Hasenhütl, BASF
Welcome again to Climate Change with Net Zero Homes, our podcast which explores the different routes our homes can take to become net zero.
Today, we have an exciting conversation lined up as our host, Florent Berard, sits down with Patrick Hasenhütl, Vice President of Business Management, Industrial Application at BASF.
Join us as we explore our long-standing partnership and delve into the world of sustainable materials and the transition towards a circular economy. You’ll understand the process which makes end-of-life tyres suitable for creating a recycled material. And then, how this recycled material has been adapted to replace the traditional plastics used in circuit breakers, and how we managed to have it comply with the strictest electrical distribution standards.
Get a glimpse of Florent Berard and Patrick Hasenhütl conversation:
BASF and Schneider Electric joint commitment to sustainability and innovation.
The challenges posed by 350 million metric tons of plastic waste every year and the importance of finding sustainable solutions.
The concept of chemical recycling as a complementary approach to mechanical recycling for plastic waste.
The positive impact of our collaboration, including the recycling of 400 tonnes of plastic and significant carbon emission reductions.
The significance of electrical safety in home and the very specific work done by our engineers to make the recycled plastics compliant with the strictest regulatory test
Our dedication to using sustainable materials in our products.
