11 Top Products from KRAFT Paints and BIOCLIMA that Respect the Environment and Protect Health
These products, developed by the Greek Druckfarben Group, hold the EMICODE EC1PLUS certification, the highest level of its kind, while also meeting the BREEAM certification requirements. They represent some of the most innovative and sustainable solutions in the construction materials industry, contributing to a more sustainable future.
When a technical or construction product is classified under EMICODE, it means it ranks among the best in its category in terms of health protection for people and pets, while also minimizing environmental impact. If a product carries the highest EMICODE certification level, EC1PLUS, it is automatically considered a premium product with exceptionally low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. KRAFT Paints and Bioclima offer 11 such EC1PLUS-certified products with extremely low emissions.
Understanding the EMICODE EC1PLUS Certification
The EMICODE® EC1PLUS certification is one of the strictest and most recognized certifications for low VOC emissions in construction products. It applies to building materials, home renovation products, and flooring industry solutions such as adhesives, sealants, primers, and coatings.
Essentially, the EMICODE® system evaluates what we breathe after a product has been applied inside a building. This helps consumers, contractors, and architects compare and assess the emission characteristics of the construction materials they plan to use. Additionally, it serves as a globally recognized eco-label aligned with environmental responsibility and the climate crisis.
A product labeled EC1PLUS contributes to improving indoor air quality and protecting residents' health. The higher the certification level, the better the product, ensuring compliance with the strictest European and international air quality standards. Such products are ideal for spaces with high hygiene requirements, including hospitals, schools, and residential buildings. Furthermore, they are preferred for sustainable building projects and eco-friendly construction, aligning with Sustainability and Environmental Protection principles.
EMICODE EC1PLUS & BREEAM Certification
These 11 certified products also meet the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) standards—one of the most widespread and rigorous international sustainability certification systems for buildings.
By using these products, the chances of a building obtaining a BREEAM certification increase significantly. BREEAM assesses various environmental and sustainable aspects of a building, including:
- Energy efficiency (energy consumption, CO₂ emissions)
- Materials & resources (sustainable materials, recyclability)
- Water management & conservation
- Indoor air quality
- Natural lighting & acoustics
- Waste management & biodiversity protection
Although simply using EMICODE EC1PLUS-certified products will not automatically upgrade an old building to BREEAM standards, it ensures that the best, most sustainable construction materials are utilized.
