PPG launches new “Sustainability Profit Calculator"

PPG Refinish is now launching a new online tool that enables the customers to clearly see where they can make process changes that will substantially improve their C02 footprint and lower the energy consumption.

The tool provides the shops with an efficient way of identifying the most direct way to gain sustainable advantages in the market. Based on the input about what products and processes the shop is using today, the new “Sustainability Profit Calculator” tool can quantify the economical impact and the sustainability gains of switching products or even paint supplier.

Several sustainability tools

“At PPG we are fully dedicated to supporting our customers in the business-critical transition towards a more sustainable future.  For this we have already a number of cutting-edge tools that can support our customers, but with the launch of the “Sustainability Profit Calculator”, PPG is positioned among the absolute front runners of  sustainability consulting in the refinish business”, says Henrik Friis, Marketing Manager for Nordics and Benelux.

The new tool will show the impact of working more sustainable on both the average process time, the energy consumption, CO2 emission as well as indicate how much painter time the new sustainable ways of working will free up in the repair shop.

"It is not just what you use – It is how you use it"

When using this new powerful tool, a key learning for many is that the actual products that are used in the shops have a lot less impact on the C02 emissions than the way the products are used. This means that the VOC-level of the products used in the paint shop is of lees importance than the way the products are used.

Therefore, a tool like the “Sustainability Profit Calculator” is very powerful as it allows the Paint shop to design the process that makes the shop run with the lowest total CO2 emissions when both products and process are taken into consideration.
