AkzoNobel Launches Tool to Drive Sustainability in Body Shops
AkzoNobel has developed a repair calculator for the vehicle refinish industry that will help measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions. Designed to help customers improve their carbon footprint when using the company’s refinish products, the CO2eRepairCalculator* is part of a new initiative to encourage bodyshops to become more sustainable.
The tool identifies the carbon levels associated with the painting and drying process — including the energy consumed — and is linked directly to the vehicle refinishing products being used. It also provides data relating to the emission of VOCs, which helps customers to understand where improvements can be made.
