🔍 How do we actually PROVE that a coating is more sustainable? 👉That's the question at the heart of our afternoon session "How to assess or demonstrate the benefits of coatings to materials circularity?" — part of our upcoming workshop "How Coatings Support Circularity of Materials". Innovation is only half the story. The other half is evidence: robust methods, credible data, and safe-by-design thinking. Four experts will walk us through the tools that make circularity measurable and trustworthy: 🔹 Olivier Talon (Materia Nova) — Life Cycle Assessment tools 🔹 Benjamine Belloncle (Materia Nova) — SSbD (Safe and Sustainable by Design) framework to support materials circularity 🔹 Pieter Samyn (SIRRIS) — Simplified Life Cycle Assessment to guide sustainable coating development and additive selection 🔹 Wenda Van Uffelen (TÜV Austria) — Credible data for sustainable coating systems From LCA methodologies to SSbD frameworks and third-party data validation, this session bridges the gap between good intentions and demonstrable impact. 📅 Tuesday, October 13, 2026 📍 Hotel Van der Valk, Mons, Belgium Whether you're a researcher, formulator, or decision-maker in the coatings industry, this is where science meets accountability. 👉 Discover the full program and register here: https://lnkd.in/e-qhViib Mireille Poelman Sirris | Innovation forward TÜV AUSTRIA Group Emma Rouyre Anastasia Greget Marion Bousser #Coatings #LCA #SSbD #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #MateriaNova #MaterialsScience
