Product description

AkzoNobel’s sustainable coating systems offer a range of environmentally friendly solutions for various industries. Their products, including low-VOC architectural paints and powder coatings, are designed to reduce environmental impact while providing high performance. One of their key innovations is the use of Biowood-inspired systems, which integrate recyclable substrates and energy-efficient wear characteristics.

By partnering with clients in architecture, marine, and automotive sectors, AkzoNobel ensures that their materials meet ESG and circular economy standards. Their coatings, such as Dulux Weathershield, not only reduce emissions but also contribute to climate resilience by promoting healthier indoor air quality and extending the lifecycle of buildings.

AkzoNobel's commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated through their product certifications, including EPD validation and GREENGUARD/ISO certifications. Additionally, the company engages in community-driven initiatives, such as paint donations and heritage restorations, under the global “Let’s Colour” campaign, showcasing their dedication to both technical excellence and social responsibility.
