At PPG we understand

that sustainability is a

driving design factor on projects nationwide.  Our products, including paint, play an important role in building green. PPG is committed to making environmentally progressive products. Many of our paint lines have zero or low volatile organic compound (VOC) contents enabling them to assist architects, building owners and home builders in building green. PPG was one of the first pioneers in the paint industry in developing new performance standards for zero and low VOC products. With PPG, painting green does not mean sacrificing your coatings performance.
