AkzoNobel develops a sustainable raw material monitoring system
AkzoNobel has announced today that it has partnered with Solvay and Ernst & Young to develop a monitoring system to track and quantify the use
of renewable raw materials in paints, coatings and other applications.
The partnership is based on a 2013 agreement between AkzoNobel and Solvay to progressively increase the use of
Solvay's Epicerol® bio-based epichlorohydrin in its coating products.
Under the latest agreement, AkzoNobel, Solvay and EY will work together to develop a "Chain of Custody approach" to ensure that the amount of petroleum-based and bio-based materials used can be identified and counted
even when they are not physically separated.
AkzoNobel already uses Epicherol
in its coatings products worldwide.
Compared to epichlorohydrin, Epicerol's carbon footprint is significantly reduced
compared to epichlorohydrin, produced from fossil sources.
AkzoNobel aims to achieve 20%
of its total epichlorohydrin use of bio-based materials by 2016.
