BASF and Cromology Turn Waste Tires Into Sustainable Wall Paint
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
BASF and Cromology developed a wall paint using chemically recycled acrylic binder from waste tires.
Tollens Maxiline launches in France in March 2026 using BASF's ChemCycling process.
BASFY said the paint lowers fossil dependence and cuts carbon footprint without quality loss.
BASF SE (BASFY - Free Report) and Cromology have introduced an innovative circular economy solution by using BASF’s chemically recycled acrylic binder, Acronal Ccycled, in Cromology’s Tollens interior wall paint range. The transformation of end-of-life tires into recycled resources combines circularity into the operations without compromising on product quality.
The new product, Tollens Maxiline+, will launch in France in March 2026. The wall paint incorporates secondary feedstocks (pyrolysis oil) obtained from end-of-life tires through pyrolysis technology, and is used in BASF’s Verbund production in a process called the ChemCycling process, helping reduce dependence on fossil feedstocks. The recycled content has been certified by REDcert2, providing transparency on the certified chain of custody of the mass balance approach.
Cromology emphasized that the innovation supports its commitment to sustainable construction solutions, while BASF highlighted the reduced carbon footprint achieved without compromising product quality. The partnership represents a significant step toward scaling circular solutions in the decorative paints industry and reducing environmental impact across the value chain.
BASFY stock has gained 23.8% over the past year compared with the industry’s 10.8% growth.
