Pinovo is proud to have the Solar Impulse Foundation Efficient Solution Label, and we were delighted to have been included in their Solutions Guide for Cities (see page 68!). In that Guide, we profiled the sustainable surface treatment work that the specialised Rope Access contractors, ProAccess Sweden AB did on the Höga Kusten Bridge near Veda in Sweden, using Pinovo's clean blasting solution, and our patented PiCo Pipe tools. The contractors were able to remove the old paint and rust on the suspension bridge cables, without scaffolding and sheeting, and with no #Paint#Microplastic #Emissions into the river Ångermanälven, that runs underneath what is the largest bridge in Sweden. Why does this matter? Because #PaintIsPlastic, and paint is the biggest source of Microplastic Pollution, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts. A big thanks to Solar Impulse Foundation for your support in putting the problem of Paint Microplastic Pollution, and Pinovo's clean solution, "on the agenda"!

Pinovo was delighted to send our clean surface treatment equipment to the Swedish Navy (Swedish Armed Forces) for the first time last week. This is in addition to our existing customers in that industry - the Royal Norwegian Navy, and the Royal Navy in the UK. For security reasons, we obviously do not talk about the work we do for individual Defence Industry customers. What we can say however that it is often related to our capacity - to work in challenging environments e.g. surface preparation inside the torpedo tube on a submarine, or - to do clean spot blasting safely beside unprotected, highly sophisticated, very sensitive and valuable equipment e.g. surface treatment of hatches on the deck of a frigate. In addition, the defence industry recognises the importance of Sustainability, and Ocean Protection and Ocean Health. For example, when surface treatment is being done on the outside of a submarine, or on the deck of a frigate, they want to stop Paint Microplastic Pollution entering the Ocean. For all of these good industrial and sustainability reasons, our defence industry customers have chosen to use Pinovo’s clean blasting solution, after long and demanding selection processes. Should your industrial or marine operation not be switching from the traditional dirty, pollutive methods of surface treatment - open grit blasting, and high pressure water jetting - to the sustainable solution of clean circular vacuum blasting? #PaintIsPlastic #PaintMicroplastics #SaveOurOcean #SDG14  Great to see The Pew Charitable Trusts highlight the importance of #Paint as a source of #Microplastic #Pollution. Check out their quiz on #Microplastics below 👇 , test your knowledge 🤔, and find out just how big a problem Paint is (Spoiler Alert - 🥇 )! Pew's intervention will help drive action by policy makers and regulators, such as the #eucommission, to require use of clean solutions to stop Microplastic Emissions at source, like Pinovo and Matter. , and remove them like Wasser 3.0 gGmbH. It will also help drive capital into the development of new clean solutions.
