Arkema, AkzoNobel and Omya have collaborated to develop a range of low-carbon options for more sustainable decorative paints with a 30% or more reduced carbon footprint (1) for mass market adoption while maintaining performance equivalent to existing products. This project aims to expand experiments and achieve up to 50% carbon reduction of decorative paints.

Arkema, a leader in specialty materials, is bringing together AkzoNobel, Omya, Beckers, ADEO and PPG to discuss how, collectively across the coatings industry, Carbon Footprint Reduction can be accelerated. Those trends include driving the change towards more sustainable paints for homes, lower carbon footprint materials and processes for the built environment, new coating applications for safer electric vehicle batteries.
