Pinovo’s Vaccum Blasting Technology is Protecting our Oceans from the Microplastic in Paint

The EU Commission has confirmed, for the first time, that paint is the biggest source of microplastics in the environment, which for the most part end up in our oceans. Paint protects steel structures from corrosion and maintenance on such structures result in removal of old paint and rust and new paint is applied. The removed paint is normally emitted to the oceans.

Traditional sandblasting for surface preparation, while effective, contributes significantly to this environmental burden.

Pinovo's innovative technology redefines surface preparation, offering a solution that is not just efficient but eco-friendly. Its patented vacuum blasting equipment, the PinoJet, turns the tide on traditional methods by recapturing and recycling blasting material, and, most importantly, minimising waste and pollution.

It has developed, patented and commercialised a sand blasting technology that is cleaner, safer, more environmentally friendly and cheaper than traditional surface treatment methods.

The PinoJet system signifies a leap forward in sustainable industrial maintenance. By using a vacuum to reclaim abrasives, it ensures that dust emissions are kept to a minimum, protecting both workers and the environment.

Pinovo is riding the tide of change while protecting our ocean waters.
