Support customer use of recycled materials

Aluminum is one of the most recycled materials in the world, and we're doing our part to enable the continued use of recycled aluminum. In 2022, we launched PPG Innovel PRO, a non-bisphenol/non-BPA coating that provides improved application properties for recyclable aluminum beverage cans. Our coatings ensure minimal spoilage and protect both the can and beverage integrity. In addition to its improved performance, the coating helps our customers fulfill evolving regulations to remove bisphenols from food contact coatings, and enables the continued use of recyclable cans.

Rethinking waste in partnership with Steelcase

Through our customer relationship with Steelcase, an American manufacturer of architecture, furniture and technology products, we are creating new and innovative uses for waste from our industrial coatings and supporting the circular economy. Last year, we made around 250,000 pounds of recycled coatings from powder coatings used by Steelcase. The process has completely removed this waste stream for our customer, reducing their environmental impact and saving them thousands of dollars in waste handling fees. The collaboration has opened the door for more innovative recycling and circularity initiatives, and we are continuing to develop products that use reclaimed materials.
