Arkema recently announced that the company has earned ISCC PLUS certification of its specialty acrylic and alkyd resins, as well as its polyester liquid and powder resins, at its facility in Navi Mumbai, India. This certification is part of the company’s global mass balance offering roadmap. The certification will provide Arkema customers in India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East with more sustainable solutions for coatings for energy and infrastructure efficiency, e-mobility, new technologies, urbanization, living comfort, and more.

"Navi Mumbai is a key production and innovation hub in the region where we have been working on new solutions, including gradually substituting virgin fossil feedstocks with renewable and more circular sources, to improve our offer. This demonstrates Arkema’s commitment to support customers in pursuing their own sustainability goals and to bring more circular and lower carbon footprint solutions," said Vivek JAGTAP, managing director of Arkema Chemicals India Pvt. Ltd. 

This new certification will support the progressive introduction of a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder materials. It also complements the recent certification of Arkema’s powder coating resins facilities in Spain and Malaysia.
