What is Chromium-6 or Hexavalent chromium? It is the cancer-causing chemical that poisoned the community of Hinkley, Calif., made "famous" in the 2000 film “Erin Brockovich”! It is commonly used for anti-corrosion metal coating, wood preservation and textile dyeing. This is where operator health and safety concerns, and environmental protection meet! By using Pinovo's Clean Blasting technology, Wiebe Vermeer and Bart Steggink completed the surface treatment demonstration safely and efficiently, protecting both operators and the environment! Well done Perspect Industrial Products b.v. ATEX-tools, led by Nico Verloop, spreading the word about Pinovo's Clean Blasting ATEX certified solution! LinkedIn Post by Wiebe Vermeer from Perspect Industrial Products b.v. (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7269394408108658688) Last week, my colleague Bart Steggink and I had the privilege of conducting a unique demo in Eemshaven. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞: Remove chromium-6 coatings in an ATEX zone, without any downtime. Using the Pinovo blasting machine and tools from Allmet Safety Tools, we demonstrated how to work safely and efficiently, even in environments with chromium-6 and explosion risks. 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐨: - Closed blasting system: No hazardous particles released into the air. - Simultaneous operations: Blast and coat directly, saving valuable time. - Time savings = fewer opportunities for accidents and creating a safer working environment. Curious to learn more about this demo? Interested in discovering what Pinovo and our ATEX tools can do for your project? Or would you like more information about our demos and training sessions? Send me a message, and let's schedule something!  At Pinovo, we have been working to put the issue of Paint Microplastic Pollution, and Pinovo's solution, "on the agenda", because #PaintIsPlastic! This podcast interview with Renita Kalhorn tells the story of how we shone a light on the issue, and about the great support we have received for our mission from Katapult Ocean and UpLink - World Economic Forum 💪 🙏 . Renita Kalhorn's Post Here’s something you probably didn’t know: Nearly 2 million tons of microplastic end up in our oceans every year. Not from water bottles or grocery bags … from paint. Think about it: Every massive structure in the ocean — oil rigs, wind turbines, bridges — needs regular repainting to prevent rust. When workers blast off the old paint, guess where it goes? Straight into the water. And those tiny paint particles are actually one of the biggest sources of ocean microplastic pollution. Norwegian startup Pinovo wants to change that. They’ve designed a sophisticated vacuum that catches old paint particles before they can fall into the ocean. In the latest episode of The High-EQ Founder, Pinovo’s chairman and co-founder, Declan Mc Adams and I talk about: → Why Pinovo decided to pivot and go all in on preventing microplastic pollution. → How relying too heavily on one well-paying client was a wake-up call and pushed them to see sustainability as a golden opportunity. → Why they took initiative to invest in scientific research to highlight the problem when industry players weren’t stepping up → How being prepared for opportunity led to a seat at the table with big brands and NGOs like the World Economic Forum.

This Platform is a crucial part of offshore wind farms, converting AC generated by the wind turbines to DC, before the current is sent to shore for use in the national grid. The HVDC platform was built in Romania for the ScottishPower Renewables East Anglia THREE wind farm off the UK coast. At its Stord Yard, Aker Solutions is installing the HVDC equipment, and completing construction of the converter station. As part of this work, Aker Solutions chose Pinovo's technology for Clean Fabric Maintenance thanks to a combination of its industrial and sustainability advantages 💪 No need for the expensive scaffolding and sheeting 💪 Other operations can run beside our equipment, and no shut down required 💪 Our equipment is #ATEX certified, so it can operate in explosive environments 💰 Pinovo’s solution is 33% less expensive than the traditional surface treatment methods for spot blasting. On top of all of that, 🌊 We stop Paint Microplastic Emissions at source, preventing them from entering the Environment, and most often, the Ocean. ♻️ And, because we recycle and reuse the blasting grit at least 20 times, grit usage is up to 80% lower compared to open grit blasting. A big thanks to Aker Solutions for your vote of confidence in Pinovo's Clean Blasting Technology 🙏 , and for leading the way in sustainable fabric maintenance 👏 . Pinovo - Clean Blasting Technology that Stops Paint Microplastics to Protect Ocean Health  So, what will they be talking about at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations in Busan next month? The short video below👇 explains it very well! We at Pinovo focus on #Microplastics in general, and #Paint Microplastics in particular, because #PaintIsPlastic. Last year, Nina Jensen wrote an article with us (https://lnkd.in/eShdzwJS) about why the proposed UN Plastics Treaty provides a critical opportunity to tackle the important problem of Microplastic Pollution. As we said "Plastic packaging and single-use plastics have gained a place on the agenda at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations, partly because big retailers and consumer goods companies face customer pressure to act on plastic pollution. The same consumer pressure is not felt by paint, tyre, plastic, chemical and textile producers, whose products cause a large part of microplastic pollution. Therefore, governments and regulators must bring those industries to the UN Plastics Treaty negotiating table to account for their products’ significant negative impact when they end up in the environment. If we don’t deal with microplastics as part of the new global plastics treaty, we will have missed a critical opportunity to tackle this pervasive problem that jeopardizes the health of people and nature alike." So, how's it going? Well, not so great, actually! 😞 At this time, the Chair of the Plastics Treaty negotiations has produced a "non-paper" for INC-5 in Busan that only includes intentional microplastics i.e. a small part of the problem 🤷♂️. More positively, we are seeing Calls to Action from important voices for the Treaty to have provisions for the reduction of production and shedding of Microplastics, given they account for one quarter of all plastic pollution 😲 💪 Scientists' Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty Policy Brief - https://lnkd.in/eh2JVWy9 💪 Nordic Co-operation on the Environment and Climate Declaration - https://lnkd.in/eUPW-xPc 💪 "SuperGroup" of the world's leading Microplastics Scientists, lead by Prof. RICHARD THOMPSON OBE FRS Article - https://lnkd.in/eWTryyw4 💪 Zoie Diana, PhD, Prof. Chelsea Rochman, and Nicholas Mallos article - UN plastic pollution treaty must not ignore the scourge of microplastics - https://lnkd.in/ezka47HM . Contact Zoie Diana, PhD for a copy! We must all hope the negotiators at INC-5 in Busan listen to these voices, and do not let this critical opportunity "go a begging"! 🤞 🙏 |
