Arkema announced that its coating resin facility in Navi Mumbai, India, has received ISCC PLUS certification for its specialty acrylic and alkyd resins, as well as its polyester liquid and powder resins. The certification supports Arkema’s global mass balance roadmap and helps customers in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East meet their sustainability goals.

“Navi Mumbai is a key production and innovation hub in the region where we have been working on new solutions, including gradually substituting virgin fossil feedstocks with renewable and more circular sources,” said Vivek Jagtap, managing director of Arkema Chemicals India Pvt. Ltd. “This demonstrates Arkema's commitment to support customers in pursuing their own sustainability goals.”

The company stated that the certification will facilitate the launch of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, including high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder materials. It also builds on recent certifications at Arkema’s powder coating resin facilities in Spain and Malaysia.
