The global coatings market is growing steadily, while regulations regarding the use of hazardous or harmful chemicals are becoming stricter. The EU-funded PROPLANET project will meet the need for innovative, high-performance coating materials that simultaneously ensure environmental protection, enhanced safety and circular value chains through a sustainable business approach. The team will initially target the textiles, food-packaging and glass sectors. It will rely heavily on advanced models, computational tools, and assessments to optimise the value chain of each product, from raw material source to end of life. Furthermore, all coatings will exemplify safety-and-sustainability-by-design concepts and an eco-design philosophy. To expand project reach, a web-based tool will be deployed, enabling key players to replicate the behaviour of coatings in different conditions.
