Arkema, a world leader in specialty materials, together with a consortium of companies, is exploring and advancing the recyclability of post-consumer PET (from bottles and other plastic items) to regain monomers for reuse as raw materials for more sustainable polyester powder resins for the coating market.

"This project was a natural fit for Arkema. As a leading provider of polyester resin for the solvent free powder coating technology, we are constantly exploring new path, partnerships and scientific research that advance the circularity of our products. We are excited by the long term goals of this project and look forward to sharing more innovation with our customers and partners in the years to come," said NEIL TARIQ, GLOBAL BUSINESS DIRECTOR FOR COATING RESINS AT ARKEMA

Arkema offers strong expertise in powder coating together with waterborne, UV/LED/EB and high solid systems for household and industrial applications. The coating process is optimized to produce a high quality finish while using the minimal energy, minimum waste and time. Additionally, powder that doesn’t end up on the product can be more easily collected and recycled or reused.
