Used across industrial and<br \/>\ninfrastructure applications, Siemens SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker is now being manufactured<br \/>\nusing Ultramid\u00ae BMBcertTM and Ultradur\u00ae BMBcertTM from BASF, where fossil feedstock<br \/>\nat the beginning of the value chain is replaced by biomethane derived from renewable sources<br \/>\nsuch as agricultural waste. Both materials offer the same quality and performance as<br \/>\nconventional plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The material changeover in the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker production will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide equivalents by ~270 tons per year1. Customers using these products contribute to a circular economy towards a more sustainable future.<br \/>\nThe move supports Siemens\u00b4 sustainability goals in the areas of decarbonization and<br \/>\nresource efficiency, outlined within its DEGREE framework, with the company following a<br \/>\n1.5\u00b0C science-based decarbonization target, including a 90 percent reduction target for scope 1<br \/>\nand 2 until 2030, and the application of a Robust Eco Design for 100 percent of relevant product families by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming months, Siemens plans to expand the use of sustainable materials across<br \/>\nthe broader SIRIUS industrial controls portfolio. In addition to product design and features, as<br \/>\nwell as manufacturing and supply processes, the choice of materials plays a major role in further reducing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources. The SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker meets the strict criteria of the recently introduced Siemens EcoTech label, designed to give customers a comprehensive insight into product performance across selected environmental criteria. In addition to most of the product housing and functional parts being made from biomass-balanced plastic, the product also offers lower power consumption over its lifetime compared to its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our products, we help customers to improve asset performance, availability, and<br \/>\nreliability, through resource-efficient and circular products which optimize energy use,<br \/>\nproduction, and supply chains throughout their entire lifecycle. In BASF, we have found a strong partner that supports us with its innovations in the field of sustainable plastics,\u201d said Andreas Matth\u00e9, CEO of Electrical Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>By increasingly relying on renewable and recycled raw materials for the manufacture of<br \/>\nits products, BASF is committed to make its contribution to the circular economy and de-<br \/>\nfossilization. This is achieved through a process that gradually replaces fossil raw materials with<br \/>\nbio-based and recycled feedstock. According to the mass balance approach, renewable or<br \/>\nrecycled raw materials are introduced into production at the beginning of the complex BASF<br \/>\nvalue chains. If customers decide in favor of a certified product from such a value chain, BASF<br \/>\nfeeds sustainable raw materials into ongoing BASF Verbund production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mass balance approach is a game-changing solution that enables the gradual replacement of fossil raw materials in sometimes complex production processes. The advantages of this approach are obvious, and the greater the demand for alternative products, the higher the<br \/>\nproportion of alternative raw materials in the production network. This aligns with our goal of<br \/>\nachieving a circular economy and net zero operations as soon as possible,\u201d explains Martin Jung, President BASF Performance Materials. \u201cIn addition, the special thing about this project is that the SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker is also used in our BASF production plants. This circuit breaker not only protects the motors but also increases their efficiency and reliability, making a double contribution to our sustainability objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the mass balance approach, various alternative raw materials, such as biomethane,<br \/>\nbio-naphtha or pyrolysis oil, can be integrated into the value chain. The bio-naphtha and<br \/>\nbiomethane used by BASF are certified as sustainable according to established systems such as<br \/>\nISCC PLUS and REDcert. The SIRIUS 3RV2 circuit breaker is a proof for resource-efficient<br \/>\nplastics production and a milestone on BASF\u2019s #ourplasticsjourney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe use of such an innovative material in an important safety component, without<br \/>\ncompromising its safety functionality and performance, is a unique achievement for Siemens,\u201d<br \/>\nunderlines Andreas Matth\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Circuit breakers are used in factories and buildings around the world and protect<br \/>\nmachines or electrical cables in the event of faults such as short circuits. They help prevent major damage, for example from fires.<\/p>\n<p>1) The calculation of Product Carbon Footprint of materials is according to TfS Methodology<br \/>\nand compares the CO2 reduction of the BASF Biomass Balanced product vs the conventional<br \/>\nBASF product.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Siemens Smart Infrastructure, please see:<br \/>\nSiemens Smart Infrastructure<\/p>\n<p><a
