Our leading brands develop products and services designed to extend the lifespan of high-performance buildings and infrastructure while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing energy efficiency and lowering costs. We incorporate bio-based and recycled materials into both our formulations and packaging to promote safe, environmentally responsible solutions.
Many RPM products also adhere to high industry standards and meet requirements for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), U.S. Green Building Council and EPA Safer Choice Program certifications, among others.
RPM remains on the cutting edge of sustainable product innovation by focusing on how our products are made and what they do. Our building products and services help our customers reduce their emissions, energy use and costs while extending the life of a building.
For example, Tremco’s AlphaGuard™ BIO reinforced roofing and waterproofing solution reduces overheating and enhances a building’s ability to regulate temperature. Distinguished by its high bio-based content, it is ideal for a high-performance roof in odor-sensitive environments, such as schools and hospitals.
In addition, we work to find ways to incorporate renewable or bio-based materials into our formulations. This creates safer and more environmentally friendly products for our end users while providing the same or improved performance compared to competing products.
Fibergrate Composite Structures’ recycled grit, which is made from crushed glass, contains little to no respirable silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is used in surface preparation, repair and finishing for composite structures.
Rust-Oleum’s Mean Green Ready-To-Use Multi-Purpose Cleaner combines robust cleaning power with the gentleness of plant- and mineral-derived ingredients. Similarly, our Rust-Oleum® Low Odor Water-Based Spray Paint features 40% less odor than traditional spray paint with the same great performance.
HIGHLIGHT
RPM’s Value of 168 Product Sustainability Award recognizes creative problem-solving that has led to new innovations. In 2025, Euclid Chemical was recognized for advancing sustainable construction with EUCEM™ ICARE, an innovative solution designed to help cement manufacturers reduce their environmental impact. EUCEM™ ICARE enhances cement strength, decreases carbon footprint from cement production, reduces clinker usage and improves reactivity and the grinding process.
Flowcrete UK has reintroduced a number of recycled products from industrial waste streams into its manufacturing processes for flooring solutions. Products include recycled pulverized fuel ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag, which lower CO2 emissions over traditional cement and enhance sustainability, performance and durability. Products in Flowcrete’s seamless terrazzo range also contain recycled glass and mirror glass aggregates.
