Here’s what we do on a daily basis to reduce our environmental impact:
- Produce our powder in-house under the same roof that it is applied, eliminating the plastic and cardboard packaging required to transport powder coatings from third party producers and eliminating the freight.
- Reclaim waste powder from the application process and re-use it to produce fresh powder, in doing so reducing powder waste to less than 1%
- Re-cycle packaging materials and production waste such as wood and plasterboard off-cuts using third party recycle companies
The sustainability benefits of powder coating technology:
- No added VOCs – powder coatings contain no water or solvent; therefore emit very low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Helping to improve indoor air quality and mitigating the polluting effects of VOCs.
- Low Waste – powder that does not end up on the coated part is reclaimed and re-used, resulting in only 5% waste powder. Because Climate manufactures it’s own powder in-house, that 5% waste powder is used to produce new powder coatings, reducing the total waste powder to less than 1%.
- Low Energy Curing – the Climate powder coating process reduces the amount of heat and energy required
to cure the powder coating using a combination of low curing resin and efficient infra-red heating technology. - Water Free – unlike liquid coatings, there is no water in the powder paint formulation or used during the application and clean-up.
- Reduced CO2 Emissions – Powder Coatings reduce CO2 emissions by 25 – 60% when compared to
conventional solvent-borne coating systems.
