The companies will explore sustainable polymer systems using captured carbon, targeting reduced footprints and enhanced coating performance.

Bio-based particles and pigments are unlocking new possibilities for sustainable coatings, offering technical performance improvements and environmental benefits across decorative and protective applications.

This partnership will help both companies meet their sustainability targets and deliver on the carbon reduction strategies of their customers.

AkzoNobel’s new North American Powder Coatings Commercial Director, Baron Schreuder, discusses the role coatings play in designing buildings of the future, and how powder coatings play an important role in making cities and communities more sustainable.

The company's Corporate Carbon Footprint and Product Carbon Footprint have been verified by a third party to ensure full transparency and reliability of carbon data.

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.
