In central Stockholm, on the nearly 150-year-old Vasabron bridge, a test of future corrosion protection systems is underway. Seven steel beams, coated with seven different paint systems, serve as a temporary testbed. This is Sweden’s first full-scale test of plastic-free corrosion protection systems in a real bridge structure – and the results reveal clear differences in environmental impact, feasibility and performance.

All surfaces in our surroundings are affected by how they are used and the environments they are exposed to. Cecilia’s work with surface treatments extends the lifespan of many products and processes, reducing resource consumption - and thereby contributing to a more sustainable world.

Most of us take clean drinking water for granted, but the fact is that Sweden's water treatment and distribution infrastructure is neglected. With its type approval, SST Slitskyddsteknik can help to future-proof this important social function.

We find ourselves in a pivotal era, where we are fundamentally reconsidering our approach to material usage. This shift demands a move towards a significantly more efficient utilization of the Earth's resources. To ensure genuinely sustainable outcomes, numerous factors must be considered. What does the material need to withstand? And for how long must it endure?

The climate is changing at an alarming rate, with devastating consequences worldwide. For Venice in Italy, the situation has long been precarious. A too significant rise in sea levels could erase the city from the map.
