TECHNICAL PAPER：BIO-BASED COATINGS
The coatings sector has a limited range of renewable and sustainable raw materials to choose from. To meet consumer expectations and legal requirements, alternatives are needed that ensure sustainable use of resources. Today’s sustainable alternatives often lag their synthetic counterparts in performance or price, but rapid progress is being made in the development of suitable substitutes. In the area of wax additives, sustainable solutions are available. Here, we compare their property profiles with those of fossil products.

EXPERT VOICES：BIO-BASED COATINGS
We indeed see a rapidly growing demand for bio-based materials. Across the entire coatings value chain there is now an understanding that fossil-based feedstocks need to be phased out. This is mainly a result of the negative impact on the environment, but also due to security of supply considerations resulting from the most recent geopolitical developments. The growing consumer awareness about the environmental impact is one of the key drivers that have led many large brand owners to take their stance and set ambitious sustainability goals involving the use of bio-based materials.
