Arkema Earns ISCC+ Certification for UV Resins Site in France

Arkema achieves a new milestone in its sustainability journey with the ISCC+ certification of its Villers-Saint-Paul site, France.  The Mass Balance approach enables Arkema to launch a new range of bio-attributed UV-LED-EB curable resins offering up to 40% carbon footprint reduction versus fossil equivalents.

Villers Saint Paul site becomes the first UV-LED-EB curable resins manufacturing site in Europe to receive ISCC+ certification. This certification allows to offer a new range of Sartomer bio-attributed solutions reinforcing the already existing bio-segregated range containing up to 85% bio-based content.

“Mass balance certification across the entire value chain enables Arkema’s customers to decarbonize and accelerates the industry shift towards more sustainable alternatives, with direct drop-in performance solutions,” said Laurent Peyronneau, global president
UV/3D specialties.

This achievement is another step towards completing a network of ISCC+ certified plants across the world, enabling Arkema’s strategy to progressively introduce a complete range of bio-attributed specialty resins and additives, such as high solids, waterborne, UV-LED-EB, and polyester powder resins.
