Arkema recently added 10 coating solutions production sites to the list of ISCC PLUS certified facilities. The group has now obtained certification of more than 70% of its coating facilities worldwide, including those dedicated to advanced liquid resins, waterborne resins, rheology and specialty additives, powder resins, UV/LED/EB technologies, and acrylic monomers. The milestone allows Arkema to offer a broad portfolio of bio-attributed solutions with carbon footprint (PCF) of at least -20% compared to fossil-based equivalents.

Arkema reports that the achievement supports customers in implementing more sustainable solutions for coatings and adhesives, as well as related applications that contribute to energy and infrastructure efficiency, e-mobility, new technologies, urbanization, living comfort, and more.

“Our approach to certification has been methodical and strategically aligned in those areas where will have the greatest positive impact across the value chain. Today, we have achieved ISCC PLUS certification across our global network for a wide range of coating technologies, from monomers to advanced resins and specialty additives. This ensures that customers worldwide now have access to bio-attributed grades that help them significantly reduce their product carbon footprint and accelerate their sustainability goals,” said Richard Jenkins, senior vice-president coating solutions and global president coating resins, at Arkema

In 2025, Arkema Coating Solutions announced a range of partnership and cooperative initiatives with suppliers, distributors, formulators, and end user organizations that supported the company’s short- and long-term commitments to reducing the product carbon footprint of coatings and related products worldwide.

“We believe the only way the industry reaches the goals we have set for ourselves is to work together” Jenkins said. “Innovation at the raw material level only works if it matches the efforts at the formulator – and even end user – levels. Arkema has been very successful in finding upstream and downstream partners who understand that way of thinking – and who are working with us to make the changes needed.”
