Arkema achieves ISCC PLUS certification of its waterborne acrylic resins in Boretto, Italy – in line with Arkema’s global Mass Balance roadmap. Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reduction at the site is up to 100%. This achievement supports customers as they advance more sustainable solutions for coatings in markets such as architectural coatings, adhesives, consumer products, e-mobility and more.
Supporting PCF reduction goal
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.
Multiple Arkema waterborne resin sites have already obtained certification, including facilities in Saint Charles, Louisiana (US), Zwickau, Germany (EMEA) and Changshu, China (Asia).
