We are proud to announce that the Complementary Product Category Rule (c-PCR) for road marking systems has now been officially published under EPD International on June 3rd, 2025.

This landmark publication introduces a standardized framework for assessing and reporting the environmental impacts of road marking systems. It empowers Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) practitioners and industry professionals to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that are aligned, comprehensive, and comparable, supporting greater transparency and consistency across the sector.

Marking the Future with You

The publication of the c-PCR is a key part of our Sustainability Strategy, a long-term commitment to enabling Safe, Sustainable, and Efficient mobility. It reflects our dedication to environmental responsibility and continuous improvement.
