MIDLAND, Mich. and DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dow (NYSE: DOW) and Univar Solutions, LLC today 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.

By combining Dow's Decarbia™ low‑carbon product portfolio, supported by high‑integrity, verifiable PCF data, with Univar Solutions' strong global distribution network, we are helping customers advance their sustainability goals with confidence."

"We are excited to broaden access to low-carbon products through this collaboration with Dow," said David Jukes, president and chief executive officer for Univar Solutions.
