Last Thursday, we hosted the first official Pinovo training at our new location in Moerbroek, Belgium. Two industry professionals joined us to deepen their understanding of Pinovoโ€™s dust-free blasting technology. What made this training unique? It was fully customized to their specific operational challenges and needs.

At Perspect, we donโ€™t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every work environment presents unique demands, and our training sessions are designed to address them directly. This session blended essential theoretical insights with hands-on application, equipping participants with practical experience on how to use Pinovoโ€™s machines effectively for their specific challenges.

Our goal is to provide a complete solutionโ€”offering expert knowledge, tailored guidance, practical training, and on-site supportโ€”to ensure Pinovo users maximize efficiency, safety, and sustainability in their operations.

Top Innovator Pinovo is turning the tide on ocean microplastic pollution. Chairman and Co-founder Declan Mc Adams talks us through Pinovoโ€™s journey and the part UpLink has played.
Joining UpLink has allowed Pinovo to build crucial relationships with researchers, ocean conservationists, and industry leaders like DP World and ร˜rsted, to raise awareness around ocean microplastics and scale their solution.

At Pinovo, we have been working to put the issue of Paint Microplastic Pollution, and Pinovo's solution, "on the agenda", because hashtag !

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 ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ™ .

https://www.linkedin.com/in/renitakalhorn/

Hereโ€™s something you probably didnโ€™t know:

Nearly 2 million tons of microplastic end up in our oceans every year. Not from water bottles or grocery bags โ€ฆ from paint.

Think about it: Every massive structure in the ocean โ€” oil rigs, wind turbines, bridges โ€” 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. Theyโ€™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, Pinovoโ€™s chairman and co-founder, Declan Mc Adams and I talk about:

โ†’ Why Pinovo decided to pivot and go all in on preventing microplastic pollution.
โ†’ How relying too heavily on one well-paying client was a wake-up call and pushed them to see sustainability as a golden opportunity.
โ†’ Why they took initiative to invest in scientific research to highlight the problem when industry players werenโ€™t stepping up
โ†’ How being prepared for opportunity led to a seat at the table with big brands and NGOs like the World Economic Forum.

Pinovo and Aker Solutions are bringing Clean ๐Ÿ’ช Fabric Maintenance Technology to the Wind Energy โšก Industry at Stord in Norway. ๐Ÿ™Œ

In recent months, Pinovo has been engaged on a project on the Aker Solutions East Anglia HVDC Platform ๐Ÿ‘‡ . 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

๐Ÿ’ช No need for the expensive scaffolding and sheeting
๐Ÿ’ช Other operations can run beside our equipment, and no shut down required
๐Ÿ’ช Our equipment is certified, so it can operate in explosive environments
๐Ÿ’ฐ Pinovoโ€™s solution is 33% less expensive than the traditional surface treatment methods for spot blasting.

On top of all of that,
๐ŸŒŠ We stop Paint Microplastic Emissions at source, preventing them from entering the Environment, and most often, the Ocean.
โ™ป๏ธ 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 ๐Ÿ™ , and for leading the way in sustainable fabric maintenance ๐Ÿ‘ .

So, what will they be talking about at the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations in Busan next month? The short video below๐Ÿ‘‡ explains it very well!

We at Pinovo focus on in general, and Microplastics in particular, because . 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 productsโ€™ significant negative impact when they end up in the environment.

If we donโ€™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! ๐Ÿ˜ž 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 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Cue the drum roll๐Ÿฅ! At our newly expanded workshop in Bergen, we are assembling the latest batch of Pinovo's Clean Blasting PiSys Flex machines.

With our technology, customers get not only these industrial advantages
๐Ÿ’ช No need for the expensive scaffolding and sheeting required for the traditional surface treatment methods of open grit blasting, and high pressure water jetting.
๐Ÿ’ช You can continue to run other operations beside our equipment when it is operating, and no shut down of activity required.
๐Ÿ’ช Because our equipment is hashtag certified, it can operate in explosive environments.
๐Ÿ’ช With our high quality filters, and because we capture all the dust, Pinovo's equipment can also used to remove lead and other toxic paints.
๐Ÿ’ฐ And, Pinovoโ€™s solution is about 33% less expensive than the traditional surface treatment methods for spot blasting. This cost saving can increase to over 60% when our tools are combined with Rope Access.

๐ŸŒŠ On top of all of that, we stop Paint Microplastic Emissions at source, preventing them from entering the Environment, and most often, the Ocean.

โ™ป๏ธ 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. This means not only significant cost savings for the customer, but also over 60% lower CO2 Emissions thanks to the lower grit usage, transport, collection and disposal.

30/09/2024

Some of the worldโ€™s leading scientific experts on the subject of Microplastics, led by Prof. RICHARD THOMPSON OBE FRS, the โ€œGodfather of Microplasticsโ€, have come together to write an Article for the journal Science, bringing us up-to-date on the current state of scientific knowledge on the problem of Microplastic Pollution. Link to the Article - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl2746

You should check out the infographics in the Article, which are brilliant ๐Ÿ‘ !

Some key insights ๐Ÿ’ก in this new Article are

"To underscore the urgency, forecasting models indicate that, under business-as-usual scenarios, microplastic leakage to the environment could rise by 1.5 to 2.5 times by 2040.....The overarching message is clear, environmental concentrations and exposure of biota and humans are set to increase.โ€

โ€œ...there is clear evidence of growing public concern about the potential for such (human health) effects... and the wider human health and social justice implications and, given the persistence of microplastic and the near impossibility of their removal once dispersed in the environment, an increasing emphasis should be placed on taking a precautionary approach.โ€

โ€œ...Many actions (as solutions to microplastic pollution) to date have focused on downstream, end-of-pipe solutions,โ€ฆ.There is growing evidence that upstream approaches will be most effective.โ€

โ€œ...policy action does not have to wait, it can be justified on the basis of the precautionary principle and so measures can, and arguably should, be taken now to reduce emissions."

This new Article is timely because Microplastic Pollution is a very live topic, not just in the world of science, but also now in the regulatory and political spheres.

Just yesterday, at the UN General Assembly in New York, the Nordic Co-operation on the Environment and Climate issued a Declaration calling for the proposed UN Plastics Treaty to include โ€œโ€ฆ.dedicated measures for regulating microplastics related to their source and routes of leakageโ€ฆโ€.

This disturbing Financial Times article๐Ÿ‘‡ asks if the rising rates of cancer in young people could be caused by hashtag ?

Recent scientific research is showing that cancer may no longer be "a disease of old age", given the rates of several cancers are rising faster among the young than among the old. As the FT reports, "Scientists at the American Cancer Society have confirmed the trend across a wider range of cancers, with statistics broadly suggesting that a Gen X or Millennial is more likely to develop certain types of the disease than her Baby-boomer parents."

While known cancer risk factors such as sedentary behaviour, changes in diet, rising levels of obesity and diabetes, may account for some of this increase, the presence of cancer patients in Harvard Universityโ€™s Cancer Institute clinic who are young, fit and healthy, has led the scientists to look for environmental carcinogens capable of affecting entire generations.

The FT journalist, Anjana Ahuja goes on "Last year, New Zealand researchers showed that microplastics, now found everywhere and ingested from infancy onwards, could disrupt the gut lining. The prevalence of microplastic pollution since the 1960s โ€” the tiny plastic particles come from consumer products and the breakdown of industrial waste โ€” has the right timeline and might explain the compounding effect between generations, but it needs further investigation."

This tells us why the current negotiations of a g really, really matter!

Those negotiations will come to a head in Busan, Korea in November at -5, when hopefully, Global Rules that seek to address problematic and avoidable plastic products, chemicals of concern and product design will be approved.

This includes Microplastics, and Pinovo applauds the fact that Microplastic Pollution is now firmly โ€œon the agendaโ€ in the UN Plastic Treaty negotiations.
