EC Live Wood Coatings

Life cycle assessment study on wood coatings. Are water-borne systems really more sustainable than solvent-borne in this sector?

Author: Dr. Berta Vega Sánchez

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has become an important tool to quantify the environmental impact of products and industrial processes. It provides a full picture of the impact, in order to find the best levers for improvement. This collaborative study analyses the environmental footprint from cradle to application to demonstrate the lower environmental impact of water-borne systems and identify the main levers for each technology.

 

This webcast is intended to give exclusive insights into newest research of water-borne coatings. It is a free online feature of the European Coatings Journal and a perfect addition to the lead article of the current issue. Everybody who reads the European Coatings Journal or is interested in water-borne coatings and/or virtual events in general is more than welcome to join.
