The international paints and coatings supplier PPG
has been named to the 2024 Corporate Knights Clean200 list thanks to its innovative and sustainable solutions – earning the top spot.
“Sustainability is at the forefront of our product development and innovation strategy. We are committed in minimising our own environmental footprint as well as our customers’ and finding solutions to increase the useful lifetime of their most valuable assets. This recognition reinforces our commitment to meeting our 2030 targets and driving toward a more sustainable future,” has commented Diane Kappas, Vice-President for global sustainability at PPG.
As a matter of fact, PPG has launched several sustainably products since 2022, including:
- PPG SIGMAGLIDE® 2390: a biocide-free antifouling paint that uses PPG HYDROSET TECHNOLOGY™ to create a friction-free surface when it is immersed in water that marine organisms cannot adhere to, reducing drag and achieving power savings of up to 20%, with a 35% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional antifouling coatings;
- PPG INNOVEL® PRO: a non-bisphenol/non-BPA coating that provides improved application properties for recyclable aluminium beverage cans. This solution ensures minimal spoilage, protecting both the can and beverage integrity.
