Great to see that important European Industrial companies are also switching to sustainable methods of surface treatment!

The largest chemical production plant in Belgium, which is also this group's second largest site in the world, is working with Pinovo's clean blasting technology to remove the old paint and corrosion, before repainting their storage tanks and distillation columns.

Instead of using the traditional method of open grit blasting, which needs extensive scaffolding, sheeting and clean-up work, this plant is working together with our excellent distributor in the Benelux region, Perspect Industrial Products, and Pinovo's clean blasting solution. In addition, the work can be carried out safely in an ATEX zone, without the need for a shutdown, and with other equipment operating alongside.

They used two different Pinovo tools on the top of the tanks and the sides of the columns - the PiWalk and the PiHab (a flexible sealed blasting habitat).  

As well as the industrial benefits, the Pinovo solution also delivers a material, quantifiable sustainability impact, because 

1. No Paint Microplastic, Grit and Dust Leakage - SDG's 12, 14 
2. Over 60% less CO2 Emissions compared to open grit blasting - SDG’s 9, 12
3. Much better working conditions for Operators - SDG 8
 
The switch from the traditional pollutive methods of surface treatment to Clean, Sustainable solutions, like Pinovo’s, is underway across Europe. 

Should your industrial or marine operation not be doing the same?

A new study has shown how microplastics can infiltrate the blood-brain barrier of mice.

These research findings show we need more scientific study to really understand the health impact of #microplastics on humans, animals and fish, and also its impact on plant life, and there is also an urgent need for regulators to act to raise public awareness of the sources of #microplastic #pollution, including #paint!

Over to you #eucommission!

And remember #PaintIsPlastic


A new study has shown how microplastics can infiltrate the blood-brain barrier of mice.


The research team conducted an experiment in which MPs of 2 micrometers or less in size were administered orally to mice for 7 days to elucidate the hazards of microplastics. 
They discovered that nano-plastics with the size of 2 micrometers or less even passed through the blood-brain barrier that prevents the brain uptake of hazardous substances.

Recognition of #microplastics as #PlasticPollution in the UNEA 5.2 Resolution in Nairobi was a "game changer"! 

Pinovo, the clean blasting solution to Ocean Paint Microplastic Pollution, is delighted to endorse the Vision of the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, with its objective to prevent and remediate microplastic leakage into the environment. See our quote in the press release - https://lnkd.in/gZAieq4y

Today we join Ellen MacArthur Foundation, WWF, and 80+ other organizations in calling for an effective & ambitious UN Global Plastics Treaty.  We are looking forward to collaborating with the other members of the Coalition to support the development of an effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution.

We urge all stakeholders to support this important project to help develop a strong global plastics treaty.

ultimate feedback

​We all know the ultimate feedback for a business is unsolicited comments from the operators who actually use your technology! It is far more authentic than any Customer Feedback Survey!

Well, this is exactly what Pinovo got from a customer in the Netherlands last week! Perspect Industrial Products, our fantastic distributor in the Benelux region, were cleaning and testing our machines at the end of a project, and were super happy to find the following message written by their customer's operators on the machine’s "white board"!

"Works Well. Very good machine. Thanks Pinovo”!

So, how good is that?!

A big thanks to those operators for making our week!

#PaintMicroplasticPollution is now trending on Twitter

After LinkedIn and TikTok, #PaintMicroplasticPollution is now trending on Twitter! So, how did that happen?!
Well, Ambassador Peter Thomson, United Nations Secretary General's Special Envoy for the Ocean, and Co-Chair of Friends of Ocean Action, has tweeted Pinovo's podcast with Ocean Impact Organisation (https://lnkd.in/erpzTcRp) and also the CGTN Europe programme on Microplastic Pollution (https://lnkd.in/e4rPNddf) which includes an interview on Pinovo!

A big thanks to Ambassador Thomson for his support putting  #PaintMicroplasticPollution "on the agenda" in Ocean Policy. This will help motivate regulators, including the #eucommission, to address this important Ocean pollution problem, which will in turn drive industry to adopt clean solutions.

Remember, #PaintIsPlastic
