Abstract
Coatings are widely used in a range of aesthetic, protective and durable applications, often leading to extension of the in-service period of many components. There is sizable demand for coatings in the transport sector across road, rail, marine and air. However, the issue of materials circularity with consideration of their surface treatment is an under researched and often overlooked area. The aim of this paper is to explore challenges and enabling factors that can catalyse industrial growth of a new material, technology, or process by investigating coatings within the transport sector. We do this by studying six new or novel approaches that have garnered significant research interest in the last decade, set against system-level drivers and enablers of circularity. Our findings highlight the complications, assumptions and benefits of a circular transition. We conclude that policy and regulation play a key role in supporting or hindering the transition, and further consideration of material ‘lock-in’ is required to understand how materials can be phased out from a design standpoint.
