All in all, the application process of powder coatings is highly efficient, with overspray being recyclable, leading to nearly 100 % product utilisation and minimal waste. While powder coatings require higher curing temperatures, the fast curing compared to traditional liquid coatings may enable overall energy savings in high-throughput scenario. Secondly, creating a circular economy for powder coatings in need of disposal is still an unsolved challenge. Educating the market on the benefits and potential of powder coatings can drive adoption and innovation further.
