Sustainability goes deeper than the surface!
It’s about the use of safe materials and consistent viability of saving time, materials, and energy. Our holistic approach ensures that the lifecycle of coated objects is increased and that resources are saved. That’s what we call sustainability.
Our holistic sustainability approach is based on two main pillars: We minimize the footprint by using resources more efficiently and minimizing emissions, and we go one step further: We develop products and technologies that also reduce the environmental impact of our customers and end users to maximize the handprint.
NEXT GENERATION SOLUTIONS
Our portfolio consists of several products with a clearly positive sustainability profile. We call these products Next Generation Solutions. These products are now highlighted in the COATINO® Product Finder.
