Next-generation of Sherwin-Williams Powdura ECO Coatings Shift from Pre- to Post-consumer Recycled Plastic Resins
Powdura® ECO powder coatings from Sherwin-Williams are now formulated with trailblazing polyester resins comprised of 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic (rPET). Originally launched in 2020 using pre-consumer rPET, the product platform’s resins recently switched to post-consumer rPET to reduce the product line’s carbon footprint even further.
“After the successful launch of Powdura ECO in 2020, we wanted to explore additional ways to make the line even more sustainable,” says Tabitha McLeish, Sherwin-Williams Global Marketing Director, General Industrial Coatings. “Engineered with the circular economy in mind, Powdura ECO helps reduce plastic pollution by granting plastic waste a second life by reusing it as a core raw material in the coating.”
