Dunn-Edwards is pleased to announce a cooperation with Celanese Corporation, a global chemical and specialty materials company, to minimize impacts on greenhouse emissions through the implementation of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology. New to the U.S. market, this process carves a pathway for sustainable architectural coatings by producing architectural paints with ingredients manufactured from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions captured from industrial processes using CCU technology.
Using CCU resin technology in Dunn-Edwards manufactured paints is projected to utilize over 2 million pounds of captured CO2 annually. According to the U.S. EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, this is approximately equivalent to what over 800 acres of forest can consume in CO2 in a year.
By embracing innovative technologies, Dunn-Edwards is working to provide professionals and consumers with products that utilize CCU technology, which aligns with the our Greener By Design® commitment of minimizing adverse impacts on material resources and environmental quality while maintaining the same levels of performance and quality customers expect in coatings.
