This issue features two perspectives on sustainability. The first is a research-focused contribution from Professor Norio Shibata and colleagues at Nagoya Institute of Technology on room-temperature defluorination and fluorine recovery from PTFE and PFAS.
AkzoNobel is advancing its transition to 100% renewable electricity in China, with more than half of its production sites moving toward clean energy solutions.
Curing at temperatures 30 °C lower than traditional powder coatings means, the new coating can help customers cut energy consumption by as much as 20%.
The latest initiative from AkzoNobel aims to help powder manufacturers and coaters to better manage and reduce the amount of energy they consume in order to tackle rising energy costs and meet future sustainability targets.
