Our History

BASF, the largest chemical producer in the world, is on a mission to create a more sustainable value chain in the food and animal feed industry. Its solutions help to produce more efficient and environmentally friendly foodstuffs and nutritional products.

With rising market demand,

The company sought to expand its solutions and reach more customers. In 2021, BASF introduced Opteinics™ to assess and reduce the environmental impact of animal protein.

Focused on feed and animal production,

Opteinics™ offers innovative tools for sustainability. This solution was developed by Chemovator, BASF’s business incubator and early-stage investment platform.

From pollution to solution: the future of environmental responsibility, powered by Opteinics™

Food production has a significant impact on the environment; it is responsible for one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions.

There is increasing pressure from both consumers and governments around the world  to tackle this issue and transition towards a more sustainable food system.

To empower food businesses to improve their sustainability performance, we built a digital scalable solution that helps reduce environmental footprint.

But Opteinics™ isn’t just a product; it’s a commitment to sustainable industry practices, helping food businesses tread lightly on the planet while maintaining the highest standards of product quality and profitability.
