Tutorial »Sustainability in Surface Engineering«

Challenges for coating technology: What is sustainability, what are the regulatory requirements and how is the CO2 equivalent calculated? How to optimize CO2 emissions by choosing the right surface treatment and coating tool, the right materials and optimal processes. Questions we would like to discuss in this workshop. For your company, sustainability means thinking and acting for the long term. At least two aspects of sustainability must be taken into account in surface technology. Surface technology and surface treatments can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the products and systems that rely on them. On the other hand, the application of surface technologies also has an impact on the environment. It is important to understand the quantitative value on a CO2 equivalent basis for a system and technology. What can be done to reduce the CO2 equivalent of surface treatment technologies?
