Painting Green with PPG's Pittsburgh® Paints
& Porter Paints®

If your goal is to “build green”, be it through meeting local or national VOC regulations, qualifying for LEED points, or consciously attempting to minimize the overall environmental footprint of your building, PPG can help.

From residential to commercial to new home construction, PPG’s Pittsburgh and Porter Paints can supply every type of project with a “green” product solution. We offer products that meet the most stringent environmental standards which require either zero or low VOC coatings while delivering the performance you’ve come to expect.


While there is no single authority on what makes a product green, three different types of standards are often used. They include governmental regulations, the widely accepted United States Green Building Councils' Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™, and independent certifying bodies such as the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS).
