The DACCO2 project, led by Aimplas, aims to improve urban air quality by significantly reducing pollutants in both indoor and outdoor environments through the development of active coatings capable of directly adsorbing and\/or transforming these pollutants into less harmful compounds.<\/p>\n<p>The coatings developed in the DACCO2 project are designed for use on furniture surfaces, specifically in paints and waterproof fabrics. Pilar Cumplido, Aimplas researcher in Decarbonization, explained: \u201cWith this project, we aim to advance technologies that can improve air quality and are both effective and economically viable so that sectors such as paint and textiles can adopt them.\u201d Laurentia Technologies, Alfarben, and Toldos Costa Blanca are collaborating with AIMPLAS on this research to enhance urban air quality.<\/p>\n<p>The first challenge of the DACCO2 project is the development of materials with high adsorption capacity and\/or pollutant transformation capabilities. Adsorption capacity refers to the ability to retain air pollutants effectively removing them from the surrounding air. As for transformation capacity, the research focuses on materials with photocatalytic properties\u2014materials that, using only solar energy, can oxidize air pollutants and convert them into compounds with low or no toxicity. Regarding the pollutant study, the project is analyzing their concentrations by comparing measured values with the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO), assessing their health and environmental impacts, and identifying their main sources of emission.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/05\/26\/aimplas-develops-active-coatings-for-urban-furniture-surfaces\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-714\/\">Aimplas develops active coatings for urban furniture surfaces<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[18916,5841,18917,575,655],"class_list":["post-140242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-active-coatings","tag-aimplas","tag-air-pollutant","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140242\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
