Sustainability & Environment

Guidepost for our product development: less is more

In developing our products, we consider material use, durability, and potential effects on a building’s energy demand. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for selected products. Potential temperature and energy effects are assessed and documented separately for specific applications.

Signpost for product quality: the highest level

We make sure that we question every move we make and every approach we take every day. We make sure that every batch that leaves our premises is of the highest quality.

Guide to environmental compatibility: responsibility

When selecting suppliers, we consider environmental aspects as part of our quality and environmental policy. Further information on our principles can be found below.

ECO EPD Logo

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized, scientifically based environmental product declaration that provides information on defined environmental impacts of a product based on a life cycle assessment.

Verified EPDs have been available for several SICC Coatings products since 2025. They were published via MRPI Netherlands aand are accessible through the ECO Plattform. Verified EPDs for:

EPD ThermoPlus            EPD ThermoVital             EPD Lumen

EPD ThermoProtect       EPD ThermoActive          EPD History           EPD Nature

The EPDs document the environmental impacts of the respective products according to standardized rules and present this information transparently and neutrally, without providing an overall assessment of the product.
