The British Coatings Federation has launched an in-depth report on the UK coatings industry’s progress in addressing the sustainability challenges faced by the sector.

Seven years ago, the BCF produced a Sustainable Development Policy, which set out the ambition for the industry to drive best practice in the economic, social and environmental elements of sustainability.

‘Our members have demonstrated through this landmark report that the UK’s coatings, printing inks and wall coverings manufacturers provide quality products which protect the environment, conserve resources, enhance lifestyle and communicate information,’ said Tom Bowtell, BCF’s chief executive.

The report showcases examples of how members of the British Coatings Federation has responded to the challenges outlined in the 2009 policy. There are over 50 case studies included in this report.
