Group companies operate in Scandinavia, Germany, the UK, Poland, Slovenia and Russia, and through a well-established network of agents and representatives in approximately 20 other European countries. The company has approximately 1,800 employees and 16 facilities.
Coatings manufacturer Teknos is conducting wide-ranging research to find industrial side streams that can be utilized as raw materials in coatings manufacturing.
“At present we are researching the use of secondary raw materials in many product groups. Bio-based raw materials are already used in various products. ” said Laura Kosonen, Teknos’
product manager.
The secondary raw materials that Teknos is researching include both products at the end of their life cycle and industrial side streams from which raw material for coatings can be separated. The principle of a circular economy is simple: one man’s waste is another man’s raw material. Consequently, Teknos’ partners are key players as raw material producers.
