The Environmental Committee ensures that the Indonesian paint industry aligns with global sustainability standards and public health protection.

Lead-Free Indonesia Initiative

APCI actively participates in the National Action Plan (RAN) toward “Lead-Free Indonesia,” initiated by the Kementerian Koordinator Pembangunan Manusia dan Kebudayaan in collaboration with UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO).

A Technical Working Group (TWG) was established, involving the government, Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, APCI, and other stakeholders.

Main objectives:

• Eliminate lead content in paint products.

• Protect public health, especially children.

• Harmonize Indonesian standards with WHO recommendations.

Green Industry Standard (SIH)

The Green Industry Standard (Standar Industri Hijau – SIH) is currently under review and is expected to become mandatory for water-based and solvent-based paint industries.

Key focus areas include:

• Heavy metal restrictions (Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr VI).

• Energy efficiency (fossil fuels and renewable energy).

• Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions management.

• Future readiness for the Emission Trading System (ETS).

• Water management and productivity efficiency.

APCI member companies that have obtained SIH certification for water-based paints include:

• PT Avia Avian

• PT Citra Warna Abadi

• PT Indaco Warna Dunia

• PT Jotun Indonesia

• PT Mowilex Indonesia

• PT Propan Raya ICC

This reflects the industry’s strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.
