Powder Coating Part of Building Trend

Green building initiatives are booming, and demand for green practices and technologies is growing rapidly, with governments, organizations and individuals targeting practices and standards that seek sustainability and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals from their disciplines. 

With stricter government policies to reduce waste, water use and carbon emissions, and an increased awareness of the role construction plays in meeting the goals, eyes are being placed on traditional methods that generate greater negative impacts to the environment.

That said, the demand for greener alternatives is not only coming from government and institutional targets. Worldwide protests and strikes led by groups of people and organizations have led to increased concern about climate change, and we are becoming increasingly aware of the need to preserve the environment for future generations. This has had a massive spillover effect on industries and within them construction is no exception, with new green initiatives designed to encourage developers to look for innovative alternatives.
In fact, a 2018 study by the World Green Building Council revealed that 47% of industry respondents expected to build more than half of their projects as green buildings by 2021.

Powder coating having highly significant green characteristics, becomes a great option for use in the construction industry. Its inert nature of dust, no greenhouse gas emissions, high efficiency and no waste generation are just some of the reasons why builders, architects and developers prefer it when developing more sustainable projects, so it is not surprising that this coating technique is becoming increasingly popular.
