AkzoNobel has introduced Eco+, a new designation that brings together its most sustainable powder coating solutions from the Interpon and Resicoat portfolios under a single, clearly defined framework. The Eco+ portfolio is designed to help customers more easily identify coating technologies that deliver measurable sustainability benefits while maintaining high performance.
Eco+ products are powder coatings that provide verified improvements in key sustainability areas while also supporting operational efficiency. The solutions are designed to reduce energy consumption, minimise waste and lower carbon emissions, while extending product lifespan and improving process productivity. By consolidating these technologies under one designation, AkzoNobel aims to provide greater transparency and confidence when selecting sustainable coating solutions.
To qualify for Eco+ status, each product must demonstrate measurable sustainability performance against clearly defined, data-backed criteria. Every product included in the portfolio delivers at least one of six recognised sustainability benefits. These include reduced energy consumption through lower curing temperatures and faster curing cycles, increased productivity through single-layer systems and fewer processing steps, and reduced waste during manufacturing and application.
Additional benefits include lower material consumption through improved coverage and right-first-time performance, extended product lifespan through highly durable coatings, and reduced carbon footprint through smarter raw material selection, including bio-attributed resins.
According to AkzoNobel, powder coatings are already among the most sustainable coating technologies available. With Eco+, the company aims to make it easier for customers to understand where sustainability can deliver tangible value, whether through improved efficiency, reduced energy use or longer service life.
The Eco+ portfolio spans multiple industries, including architecture, automotive, domestic appliances and general industrial manufacturing, providing solutions such as low-temperature curing coatings, enhanced corrosion protection and highly durable finishes.
