Fred Moreux, South Asia Pacific Manufacturing and Supply Chain Director at AkzoNobel, discusses the pivotal role of sustainability within the manufacturing process and the coatings industry, including the commitment to carbon reduction, the innovative adoption of renewable energy, effective strategies for wastewater management, and more.
By recapturing and reprocessing components from unused inventory bound for disposal, rather than manufacturing with virgin raw materials, the carbon footprint of the recycled paint is reduced by up to 60% compared to paint products equal in quality and formulation.
The energy-efficient, cost-effective way to convert the greenhouse gas into a wide range of chemical feedstock, spearheaded by NUS scientists, achieves cost reduction of about 30%.
By replacing fossil fuels with renewable resources, biomass balance products contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enabling a circular economy. BASF explains its Circular Economy Program in an effort to explain how the coatings industry and its approach to sustainability is changing and evolving to include the entire value chain.
Ensuring your firm is sustainable will save you money, improve your operational efficiency, and help you attract eco-friendly consumers. Tracking ESG data points can help you spot faults and pivot toward more efficient operations. This improves your profitability in the long run and future-proofs your firm.
A new technology in advanced light scattering and TiO2 optimization generates a novel universal coatings system for multiple substrates and market segments. This self-build technology maximizes efficiency to the core utility of paint and coatings (opacity) under which all sub-utilities and benefits reside.
The company acheived its carbon negative goal and is now California Green Business certified in addition to earning the EcoVadis silver medal and Greenly Silver status.
