Dunn-Edwards Paints

Greener By Design

Dunn-Edwards has a long history of proactively doing more than required, often taking action before any requirement exists. We have voluntarily initiated policies to safeguard the health and safety of our workers and customers, as well as the quality of our shared environment. This has been part of our legacy since the earliest days of the company.

Performance

Dunn-Edwards paints help protect and preserve the built environment. Performance is the key ingredient in eco-efficient paint and coatings. Product life cycle analysis of paint shows that high performance — in terms of coverage = less paint per application and durability = longer service life before reapplication.

Sustainability

In our factory operations, Dunn-Edwards engages in a comprehensive waste minimization and recycling program that is supported by management and employees. We currently recycle more than 95 percent of our process waste stream. Also, manufacturing procedures are continually examined for opportunities to reduce or prevent generations of process waste.

Our Colorant

In April 2012, Dunn-Edwards announced the launch of zero-VOC colorants, which eliminate a significant source of added volatile organic compounds in paint. This new technology allowed Dunn-Edwards to make greener paint and to comply early with future regulatory limits on VOC in colorants used for tinting paint.
