Circular economy

The circular economy in surface technology is becoming increasingly important as it combines both ecological and economic benefits. The aim is to keep raw materials and materials in the value-added cycle for as long as possible and to significantly reduce waste and emissions. In practice, this means that resources such as metals, chemicals and solvents are not only used efficiently, but also recycled and reused.

Coating and cleaning processes are designed in such a way that residual materials are minimized and by-products can be fed back into the production cycle. Modern technologies make it possible to treat process water, recycle solvents and recover metal residues, which noticeably reduces the consumption of primary raw materials. At the same time, closed loops reduce the impact on the environment and make it easier to comply with strict legal requirements.

Companies in the surface technology sector also benefit from falling disposal costs and improved resource efficiency, which strengthens their competitiveness in the long term. This makes the circular economy a central building block for responsible and future-oriented surface treatment that reconciles technological performance with environmental and climate protection.
