A UL Case Study
Nippon Paint, a global manufacturer of paints and coatings, faced growing pressure to provide verified environmental data for its products to meet demand for sustainable building materials and participate in green building programs. To achieve this, they needed life cycle assessment expertise to produce environmental product declarations (EPDs). They collaborated with UL Solutions for its EPD certification services.
UL Solutions supported Nippon Paint through the entire EPD development and third-party certification process, providing guidance and coordinating with an independent verifier. As a result, Nippon Paint achieved EPD certification for its Vietnam wall paints in just three months. This certification enhances trust with stakeholders, strengthens brand credibility, and demonstrates the company's commitment to environmental responsibility. Following this success, Nippon Paint plans to expand EPD certification to additional product lines and facilities.
