Fourth webinar of the PERFECOAT webinar series! In the penultimate episode of the five-piece webinar series of the CBE JU funded research project PERFECOAT the experts will give insights about assessments and used methodology in regards to safety and sustainability of the developed bio-based compounds for sustainable paints and coatings.
10 June 2024, 13:00-14:00 (CET), online via Zoom.
Who is the target audience?
Students and researchers on bio-based coatings
Programme or draft programme (main points):
All materials developed in PERFECOAT need to meet highest safety and sustainability standards for users and environment. The project will therefore quantitatively demonstrate the sustainability improvements achieved with bio-based solutions compared to conventional fossil-based paints and coatings. This was done by establishing a framework for safety assessment (chemical leaching and skin sensitisation testing), life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle costing (LCC), and potential social impacts of the developed products and processes. The social study started with identifying potential social impacts and factors that can influence social acceptance (including socio-political acceptance, market acceptance and community acceptance) through literature review and stakeholder interviews. The next steps include finalising the social impact assessment.
The webinar will provide an overview of applied frameworks, methodologies, and key highlights.
With international top experts:
• Andy Booth (SINTEF Ocean)
• Kamal Azrague (SINTEF)
• Assiya Kenzhegaliyeva (SINTEF)
