KIVI KRING CARRIBBEAN – ARUBA invites you to attend its presentation with the following title:

“Smart Coatings, Smarter Choices: Dive into the chemistry of eco-friendly coatings that save money & environment”

 by Ms. Dagmara Avanindra

KIVI Kring Caribbean – Aruba invites you to our next activity where you can learn about eco-friendly coatings to save money and reduce energy consumption. Living on a small island means facing the challenges of dependency on fuel oil imports and consequences of their fluctuating prices and availability. The ultimate goal in the application of Smart Coatings is to minimize the reliance on imported energy, enhancing both quality of life and affordability.

The Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort ( Eco Friendly - Carbon Neutral | Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort ) is an example where this Smart Coating has been applied here on Aruba. This resort is the first hotel to win the Global United Nations Climate Neutral Award and is the first Carbon-neutral hotel in the Caribbean.

All curious minds are welcome to discover the science behind the German-engineered eco-friendly insulation coating. Learn how it cost-effectively improves building insulation, cuts energy costs, promotes healthier environment, preserves exteriors, boosts solar panel efficiency, and extends the shelf life of produce.
