Notable Quote
“ To address climate change and preserve resources, we are gradually substituting virgin fossil feedstocks with renewable and more circular sources. In addition to the segregated model, the mass balance approach enables industries to speed up CO2 emissions reduction and enhance circularity throughout the value chain. This achievement also expands our network of certified Arkema facilities, helping companies across the value chain to reach their objectives of carbon footprint reduction. ”

Why This Matters
Arkema’s ISCC PLUS certification for its St. Charles facility marks a significant step toward decarbonizing the coatings and adhesives industry. By introducing waterborne acrylic resins with up to 90% bio-attributed content, Arkema enables downstream industries—such as green mobility, energy infrastructure, and urban development—to reduce their carbon footprint. This move supports the industry-wide shift toward renewable feedstocks and circular production models. The certification also reinforces Arkema’s commitment to global sustainability standards and positions the company as a key enabler of low-carbon, high-performance materials.
