Powder Coatings has unveiled Eco+ products, a dedicated portfolio highlighting its most sustainable powder coating solutions. The new designation brings together selected products from the Interpon and Resicoat portfolios under a single, clearly defined sustainability label, designed to give customers confidence and clarity when choosing more sustainable coatings.
The Eco+ portfolio focuses on powder coatings that deliver measurable sustainability improvements alongside proven performance advantages. These include reducing energy use, waste and carbon emissions, extending product lifespan and improving process efficiency—helping customers lower their environmental impact while enhancing operational performance.
Products qualify for Eco+ status based on measurable sustainability performance, assessed against a robust, data-driven set of criteria. Each Eco+ product must demonstrate improvement in at least one of six defined sustainability benefit areas:
- Reduced energy consumption through lower curing temperatures and faster curing cycles
- Increased productivity with single-layer systems, fewer process steps and less rework
- Less waste during manufacturing and application, including reduced leftover powder
- Reduced material consumption through right-first-time performance and optimised coverage
- Longer-lasting performance, with durable and super-durable coatings that protect assets for decades
- Reduced carbon footprint, enabled by smarter raw material choices, including bio-attributed resins
“Powder coatings are already one of the most sustainable coating technologies available. With Eco+, we make it easier for customers to see where sustainability genuinely adds value. Whether it’s lower energy use, greater efficiency or longer service life, Eco+ highlights the powder coating solutions that help customers reduce their impact while improving how their operations perform. That’s what value-driven sustainability means to us,” has stated Jorrit van Rijn, Marketing Director of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.
By making sustainability performance transparent and comparable, Eco+ enables customers to better understand where improvements are achieved, why they matter and how they support both business goals and environmental responsibility.
The Eco+ portfolio spans a wide range of industries and applications, including architecture, automotive, appliances, functional uses and general industrial markets. Benefits include low-temperature curing, high durability, extended service life through enhanced corrosion protection and improved material efficiency.
