PCF app PACIFIC launched on Cofinity-X

BASF, CircularTree, and Cofinity-X have taken a significant step toward sustainability. The result of this collaboration is the PCF app PACIFIC, an advanced solution for sharing Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data. PACIFIC is now available in the Catena-X Automotive Ecosystem in the Cofinity-X App Store, allowing BASF customers to register and access this innovative technology.

Developed in cooperation with CircularTree, the PACIFIC application is the result of three years of collaboration and the achievement of key sustainability standards.‍

PCF Kit

A toolkit offering practical tools and resources for implementing PCF standards.

PCF Data Model
