Nine Arkema sites have been certified over the past 12 months, covering a complete range of bio-attributed solutions from upstream acrylic monomers to downstream specialty resins and additives for high solids, waterborne, UV/LED/EB, and powder coating technologies.
“Replacing virgin fossil feedstocks with biobased or recycled sources is essential to circular economy,” Richard Jenkins, senior vice president/Coating Solutions and Member of Executive Committee, said in a press statement. “The mass balance approach allows to accelerate this transition by integrating renewable and recycled feedstocks into supply chains while keeping the same level of performance.” More ISCC+ manufacturing sites certifications are expected in 2025 “to further reduce product carbon footprint to support our customers and partners across the value chain to meet their sustainable development objectives,” Jenkins added.
