Case Study: Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf scales 70+ verified EPDs with Ecochain

Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf scales 70+ verified EPDs with Ecochain

Koninklijke Van Wijhe Verf, a Dutch paint and coatings manufacturer, faced the challenge of scaling their sustainability efforts from fragmented product footprint calculations to a portfolio-wide, verification-ready approach for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Their existing manual processes and lack of access to life cycle inventory databases created knowledge silos and made it impossible to meet increasing market demand for transparency. They turned to vendor Ecochain for a solution.

By implementing Ecochain's LCA software platform and expert support, Van Wijhe Verf built a structured, scalable foundation for product footprint modeling. This enabled them to efficiently generate over 70 verified EPDs, identify product hotspots that led to innovation like a new low-impact paint, and embed sustainability data into procurement decisions. The solution transformed their approach from isolated calculations to having defensible, actionable data that influences business operations.
