Arkema's Waterborne Resins Site Receives ISCC PLUS Certification

The company's facility in Boretto, Italy has received ISCC PLUS certification - in line with the company's global Mass Balance roadmap. Arkema further reports that Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reduction at the site is up to 100%, which supports customers as they advance more sustainable solutions for coatings in markets such as architectural coatings, adhesives, consumer products, e-mobility and more.

The Boretto facility produces a range of Mass Balance solutions, including waterborne resins with up to 95% bio-attributed carbon content, corresponding to 50% bio-attributed content by weight in the supplied products.

The company reports that multiple waterborne resin sites have obtained certification, including facilities in Saint Charles, Louisiana (US), Zwickau, Germany (EMEA) and Changshu, China (Asia).

These certifications are part of a larger Mass Balance certification roadmap that covers multiple technologies and products for coatings and related products, covering a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder materials.

“Arkema remains resolute in its target to improve how products are made and support industry-wide goals related to carbon footprint reduction. The certification in Boretto extends that effort and helps us positively impact our customers in the region,” said Neil TARIQ, general manager, Coating Resins Europe.
