Arkema Advances Sustainability with ISCC PLUS Certification in India

Arkema, a prominent player in specialty materials, recently achieves ISCC PLUS certification for its specialty acrylic and alkyd resins at its Navi Mumbai facility. This achievement is a vital component of Arkema's global Mass Balance initiative, which focuses on supplying sustainable solutions for coatings in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. The certification allows Arkema to transition from conventional fossil feedstocks to renewable and circular resources, effectively reducing the carbon footprint of its production processes. This strategic shift is particularly relevant in a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly critical across various industries.

Vivek Jagtap, Managing Director of Arkema Chemicals India Pvt. Ltd., highlights the significance of the Navi Mumbai facility as a key center for both production and innovation. The site is set to play an essential role in rolling out a broad range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, and UV-LED-EB materials. By implementing the Mass Balance traceability system, Arkema ensures that certified sustainable feedstock is accurately tracked throughout the manufacturing process. This initiative not only emphasizes the company's commitment to sustainability but also assists clients in meeting their own environmental goals.

As part of its ongoing dedication to sustainable practices, this certification follows earlier approvals for powder coating resin facilities in Spain and Malaysia. Such developments illustrate Arkema's extensive commitment to enhancing sustainability across its global operations. The company’s efforts align with growing market demands for eco-friendly products, particularly in sectors like energy efficiency, e-mobility, and urbanization. Arkema's ISCC PLUS certification reinforces its position as a leader in sustainable manufacturing, providing products that lower reliance on fossil raw materials and support sustainable development in the regions it serves.

In addition to the certification news, Arkema encourages stakeholders to explore its Mass Balance approach on its website for more detailed insights. The company's initiatives represent a proactive response to the increasing demand for sustainable solutions, positioning Arkema as a forward-thinking leader in the specialty materials industry. As Arkema continues to innovate and expand its sustainable offerings, it remains committed to supporting its customers in achieving their sustainability objectives.
