What is the Solution?
ReHarmony introduces their solution of E-COATING, a groundbreaking exterior cooling solution that transforms waste glass into a high-performance thermal coating for buildings and industrial systems. By leveraging recycled glass as the primary material, their solution addresses two critical global challenges: the accumulation of urban solid waste and the rising energy demand for cooling in a warming climate. This dual-purpose innovation reduces landfill waste while providing an energy-efficient solution to lower indoor temperatures, significantly cutting reliance on air conditioning systems.
Unlike conventional coatings that rely on costly nanomaterials, ReHarmony’s solution harnesses readily available waste glass, making production both affordable and scalable. Its high reflectivity and heat emissivity create a cooling effect without electricity, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional energy-intensive cooling systems. This not only reduces electricity consumption but also helps combat urban heat islands, fostering cooler, more livable cities. By repurposing waste into a cost-effective, sustainable product, this is an innovation that benefits both people and the planet, paving the way for greener construction practices and industrial solutions.
