Low-carbon chemical products are materials and industrial intermediates manufactured with significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. They are achieved by replacing fossil feedstocks with bio-based materials, utilizing renewable energy, and applying carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Dow and Univar Solutions, LLC. announced a long-term agreement to offer and distribute Dow’s Decarbia™ low-carbon products with Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certificates across key markets, including beauty and personal care, home care, food, pharmaceutical and a variety of industrial performance markets.
Building on the longstanding relationship between the two companies, the agreement expands customer access to low-carbon products through Univar Solutions’ global distribution network, addressing growing demand and helping customers meet their Scope 3 emissions reduction targets.
According to the company, Dow’s low-carbon product footprints are calculated using a Carbon Footprint Ledger (CFL) methodology, which is limited assured under international PCF standards, including ISO14067 and the GHG Protocol Product Standard.
Dow says: we are investing to develop low‑carbon products at scale and to demonstrate that meaningful decarbonization is achievable across the value chain.
This agreement deepens DOW collaboration with Univar Solutions and reflects their shared vision to accelerate value chain decarbonization while delivering value to customers.
Univar Solutions says: We are excited to broaden access to low-carbon products through this collaboration with Dow. By offering third-party verified low-carbon options, we can deliver more impactful supply chain alternatives across our customer base and support meaningful Scope 3 emissions reductions. As a global chemical and specialty ingredients distributor, we are well positioned to bring a comprehensive portfolio of sustainable solutions to market.
