Celebrating Our Commitment to Sustainability
We are thrilled to present the results of a recent evaluation that was carried out by a coatings producer. In this investigation, three different amounts of reclaimed powder fines—30%, 60%, and 90%—were subjected to the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model.
The limited information shared with us includes the Cradle-to-Gate Global Warming Potential (GWP) numbers, which are summarized in the table. These GWP numbers highlight significant CO2 emissions avoidance as the percentage of reclaimed material increases.
Cradle-to-Gate (GWP) Global Warming Potential Results
Material Composition | GWP (kg CO2 eq) | CO2 Emissions Avoidance |
---|---|---|
Without Any Reclaimed Material | 5.92 | — |
With 30% Reclaimed Material | 4.5 | 24% |
With 60% Reclaimed Material | 3 | 49% |
With 90% Reclaimed Material | 1.51 | 74% |
Key Insights
1. Cradle-to-Gate Assessment:
This evaluation includes all stages from extraction and upstream production to transport and manufacturing.
2. Sustainability Impact:
The results demonstrate significant CO2 emissions avoidance as reclaimed material content increases, showcasing our commitment to reducing environmental impact.
We are proud of our advancements in sustainability and look forward to sharing more updates as we continue our journey toward a greener future!
What is a Powder Conversion Depot?
Today we run & maintain a facility in western Michigan. The intent is not to have all worldwide recycling come through this one facility. We see regional & international locations help us expand recycling. This facility is a proving ground for the future.
The Future of Powder Coating Recycling
We are looking for investors who want to help us expand. Once you understand the value of our services, we want you to join us in bringing this technology to the world. Contact us to discuss these possibilities.
