We want to help you advance YOUR sustainability goals, and that requires quantifying how our offerings contribute to sustainability, specifically the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). To enable this, our experts developed the Chemours EVOLVE 2030 methodology—a third party validated, award-winning method—to scientifically measures UN SDG impact.
Quantify your environmental impact reduction by formulating with Ti-Pure™ TS-6300 titanium dioxide (TiO₂) – high opacity pigment that enables superior hiding power and reduced material consumption-versus universal TiO₂ grades.
Your Environmental Impact Reduction with Ti-Pure™ TS-6300 Results:
-
Fewer liters of paint used -
Fewer liters of landfill waste -
Kg of CO2e avoided -
Kg of CO2 avoided per 200 km shipped -
Fewer liters of water in the can
BONUS: Supports UN SDGs and Improves Hiding Power
ASSUMPTIONS
- The two paints compared were assumed to contain the same TiO₂ pigment loading.
- Based on a typical paint formulated at a PVC above CPVC, containing 15% TiO₂ by weight.
- TDMA industry average carbon footprint was used for the TiO₂ pigment’s footprint (4.93 kg CO₂ e/kg) in a Paint; Paint ingredients footprint was based on CEPE data.
- To estimate waste from paint packaging, we assumed 1 gallon (3.79 liters), 1 quart (.95 liters), 1 pint (.47 liters) as the paint container sizes available. All containers were assumed to be made of metal.
- The weight and volume of 1 pint (.47 liters) sized paint container was assumed same as that of a 1 quart (.95 liters) paint container.
- The paint cans material management at the end of life was assumed as 50% would go to a landfill and 50% go to recycling.
- A transportation distance of 124 miles (200 km) was assumed for shipping the paint; The truck emissions factor was for a truck with an average payload of 21 tons (19 tonnes).
