AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Receive Renewed EPD
AMSTERDAM — AkzoNobel has received a renewed Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its Interpon D series of powder coatings, underlining the company's ongoing commitment to providing sustainable products for its customers. AkzoNobel obtain the first EPD in 2015.
The renewed declaration — for Interpon D1000, D2000 and D3000 — now lasts until 2023. The results show an improvement on the previous score and highlight various factors that are contributing to lower environmental impact, including a reduction in both waste and energy use.
The international EPD system reveals the environmental performance of a product throughout its lifecycle. Independently verified and transparently made, the declaration is backed up by quantified data and recognized ISO standards. It enables customers to better understand a product's sustainable qualities and ultimately make more informed product selections.
"I am very proud to have received this renewed EPD for our Interpon D series," said Daniela Vlad, Managing Director of AkzoNobel's Powder Coatings business. "It underlines our commitment to creating sustainable coatings solutions and will help customers such as architects, developers and owners to gain LEED certification for their buildings."
Vlad continued, "Powder is an inherently sustainable product, as it contains no VOCs. This is another step in offering our customers a very clean technology, which fits our ever-expanding sustainability ambitions."
