Resource Saving Resources are limited and we need to handle them 1_____________ and responsibly. New resource saving potential along the textile value-chain is worth 2_______________. The environmental impact of textile production is 3_______________ due to the vast quantity of water required and the variety of chemicals used that generates wastes. BASF offers 4______________ that bring the same desired effect using fewer amounts of chemicals. Moreover, solutions that increase the 5______________ of a process can result in saving water and energy, as well as time and costs. Global 6______________ is becoming increasingly fierce, while at the same time the textile industry is confronted with ever 7______________ environmental standards and regulation. 8_______________ is definitely the key driving force leading the textile industry towards a stronger future. Yet for long-term success one must meet the growing demand for eco-efficient solutions. Only those who meet both environmental and economic challenges remain 9_______________. Eco-efficiency means how environmentally 10_______________ and economic a product or process is. At BASF, we call such products or processes that meet both environmental and economical requirements “eco-efficient” solutions. http://www.veredlungschemikalien.basf.de
