Interpon has obtained a further Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), certifying for the third time the sustainability of its powder coatings.
Interpon, the powder coatings brand of the international manufacturer AkzoNobel, has recently obtained the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the third time for its Interpon D product range, confirming the continued commitment of the company in manufacturing sustainable solutions.
The international EPD System independently verifies the environmental impact of a product from the initial production to its disposal or recycling, contributing to some of the major green building schemes such as LEED (Materials and Resources) and BREEAM (Materials).
“This EPD renewal shows how we are committed to providing total transparency concerning the sustainability credentials of the raw materials, manufacture and transportation associated with creating Interpon D. The interest for environmental declarations in building rating systems and certification schemes has increased significantly in the last few years, and Interpon continues to lead the way in giving architects and specifiers greater depth and knowledge of the materials they are using and their life cycle environmental impact,” has explained Bob Dirks, the Global Segment Manager Architectural at AkzoNobel.
AkzoNobel has also committed to reduce its carbon emissions for all operations across the value chain by 2030. Furthermore, the company is dedicated to achieving the 100% circular use of materials by the end of the decade as well as delivering 50% of revenues from sustainable solutions.
