Interpon enhances its flagship architectural collections with the integration of bio-attributed resins

AkzoNobel Powder Coatings is enhancing the sustainability profile of its Interpon D architectural range by introducing bio-attributed resins at its European production sites. This upgrade applies to key collections such as Interpon D Futura, Anodic, Stone Effect, Natural Metals, Terracotta, Précis Ultra Matt, and Interpon D2525 Low-E—widely specified for their durability, design flexibility, and long-lasting finish.

The improvement is driven by the use of supplier-specific product carbon footprint (PCF) data alongside bio-attributed resins, enabling up to 40% reduction in carbon footprint compared to previous formulations. This approach recognizes supplier efforts in improving efficiency, reducing energy use, and shifting to renewable electricity, while also ensuring more accurate carbon footprint assessments and better sourcing decisions.

Additionally, the adoption of mass balance-based bio-attributed raw materials further lowers emissions. These Interpon D collections are part of AkzoNobel’s Eco+ portfolio in the EMEA, meeting stringent sustainability criteria without compromising performance, aesthetics, or cost—helping architects make more sustainable material choices.

“The introduction of bio-attributed resins into these iconic Interpon D collections is welcome news to architects and fabricators who want to reduce the environmental impact of their projects without changing the finishes they know and trust,” says Jorrit van Rijn, Marketing Director, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “The Interpon D collections have been favourites for years. Incorporating bio-attributed resins allows us to make them even more sustainable while keeping everything our customers value exactly the same. This is sustainability that powers progress,” van Rijn adds. “It’s a practical way for architects to own their impact — with no additional cost and no compromise on appearance or durability.”

“Our R&D teams continue to advance powder coating technologies to help meet emerging customer needs and evolving regulations,” he says. “By selecting these advanced ranges, architects not only unlock world-class designs, but also contribute to a more sustainable built environment – embodying AkzoNobel’s belief that true progress means delivering beauty, performance and sustainability together.

This development is part of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings’ broader “Own Your Impact” strategy to accelerate sustainable innovation across its portfolio, reflecting its value-driven sustainability approach that aligns high performance with environmental responsibility.
