阿科玛在2024年印度涂料展上展示更可持续的涂料新技术

For the world to change, we must change the materials we use. To move towards a circular economy and reduce the impact of goods & services on the climate and the environment, we need to address both how products are designed and how they enable more sustainable performance in use. In the design phase, one of the challenges is to replace virgin fossil feedstocks by feedstocks coming from biomass or recycled origins. The mass balance approach is a virtuous method to accelerate the transition and allow capex intensive supply chains the access to renewable feedstocks. The approach is framed by robust certification schemes applied across the whole value chain to ensure a full traceability from the feedstocks to the end products. Partnerships across the value chain is a key enabler to facilitate the shift and contribute actively to a reduction of carbon emissions

Climate change is among the greatest challenges the world is currently facing. Arkema has made a commitment to reduce its scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 GHG emissions to be in line with the +1.5°C trajectory of the Paris Agreement. As a designer of specialty materials (Arkema is supporting the transition to a more sustainable world for people and the planet), sustainability is at the heart of Arkema’s innovation strategy, with three pillars on which to act: develop safer solutions, enable a lower carbon footprint along the value chain and promote circular economy to preserve resources. 
Discover an exclusive view of Arkema's unique flagship innovations for our industry, to help our customers and partners meet their sustainability targets while enhancing product performance in highly-demanding applications.

Consumer expectations for efficient home and indoor well-being include health, protection, durability, and user-friendly application with minimal environmental impact. This results in lower odor, easy formulation with waterborne additives, and a lower environmental footprint. As resin technologies advance toward bio-based materials and lower carbon footprints, Arkema leads in developing waterborne technologies with bio-based raw materials and low carbon feedstock. This innovation aligns with sustainability goals, enhancing paint performance by reducing hazardous substances, minimizing the carbon footprint by using low carbon feedstock in decorative paints for walls, wood, and metal applications.

Cool roofing is emerging as an efficient and economical solution to improve living confort and building efficiency by lowering building temperatures and costs for air conditioning. The idea is simple: a white roof coating that reflects the sun’s rays during periods with lots of sunlight, aiming to improve living comfort. Many building roofs can be converted into cool roofing.
Arkema is supporting this Cool Roofing initiative and is implementing various solutions to support it, in order to act in energy savings not only through its internal actions on its processes and products but also as a sustainable solution support.
