Introducing the Sustainability CO2NCEPT™

In 2024, PPG unveiled the Sustainability CO2NCEPT™, a comprehensive system designed to help body shops reduce energy consumption, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the automotive repair process. This initiative integrates energy-efficient products, cutting-edge digital tools, and optimized repair processes to drive both environmental and financial benefits.​

Key components include:

  • Energy-Efficient Products: Air-drying primers and clearcoats that can reduce energy consumption by up to 65% compared to traditional oven-cured coatings.​
  • Digital Tools: The PPG LINQ™ end-to-end digital ecosystem and MOONWALK® automated paint mixing system enhance efficiency and reduce material waste.​
  • Optimized Processes: Consulting services to identify high-energy-consuming activities and recommend alternatives that lower emissions and generate cost savings.​

Globally, PPG Refinish maintains a clear commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation. The above initiatives not only align with our global sustainability goals, but also provide tangible benefits to our customers and body shop partners.​
