Green philosophy
Why Renner is green
How water-based technology, lower emissions, and responsible manufacturing support a cleaner finishing process.
Renner's sustainability story is built into its coating technology and manufacturing choices—not added as an afterthought.
Water-based technology
The Aquaris family replaces much of the solvent used in traditional coating systems with water, reducing odor and volatile organic compound emissions in the finishing environment.
- Lower solvent emissions
- Reduced odor during application
- Professional performance for clear and pigmented systems
A complete environmental approach
Renner presents its green philosophy as a full-cycle commitment: researching lower-impact formulas, improving production practices, and helping finishers select systems that meet performance goals with a smaller environmental footprint.
Performance still leads
A greener coating only works if it protects the wood. The product families are engineered around adhesion, clarity, resistance, and repeatable shop application as well as environmental goals.
