ReCoat - Towards Resource Efficient and Sustainable Industry through Coatings
ReCoat takes a comprehensive approach on sustainability to provide a platform that could contribute to the climate targets through development of advanced coatings for application in diverse sectors, while also ensuring that work practices transform alongside technological developments.
The project will address the industrial needs of sustainability related to different aspects such as reduced material usage and usage of environment-friendly materials, longer component lifetimes, utilisation of alternative fuels, efficient management of transition to a new technology, and life cycle sustainability assessment.
The scientific aim is to gain an improved understanding of relationships between thermal spray process parameters, coating characteristics and functional properties utilising diverse coating approaches, as well as to understand organising and learning in industrial transformation for sustainable development.
