	THF Life-Cycle Solution


	A full-circle supply scheme adds value for both partners

Under this heading, BASF offers to take back the customer's THF after use when it delivers fresh THF. In this way, BASF reduces complexity in its customers' operations and creates value for both partners.

By offering the option to use a "vendor-managed inventory" (VMI) system, BASF allows customers to simplify their logistics even further and improve efficiency as a result. The VMI system enables BASF to monitor the customer's tank levels and retrieve used product without interruption.

Advantages

Seamless integration of THF supply and disposal into the customer’s supply chain processes
Reduced cost of THF handling
Simplified disposal of waste THF
Closed-loop material life cycle to boost economic and ecological efficiency
Benefit of BASF’s many years of expertise in THF

Sample calculation

Compared to conventional disposal of the product, it is possible to realize significant cost reductions with much less effort.
