According to the statement, using BASF Coatings’ CathoGuard 800 ReSource e-coat and iGloss matt ReSource for vehicle coatings enables carbon dioxide avoidance of around 40 percent per coating layer. The company plans to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the plants by more than 15,000 metric tons by 2030.
