Abstract: | Many manufactured items receive surface coatings for decoration and/or protection against damage. In a number of places along
the production line emissions of (VOC) Volatile Organic Compounds can occur. Because VOC are a major contributor to photochemical
smog, control of VOC emissions is a major concern for the industries' commitment to the environment. Approaches for process
optimisation have a long tradition within chemical and process engineering for the systematic identification of cost- and
resource-efficient production options. The challenge in the context of supply chain management is the optimal recovery and
reuse of materials not only for single substances or energy flows in large chemical installations, but also for smaller production
processes and various mass and energy flows within and between enterprises. Based on a case study from the industrial coating
of bicycle frames, an approach for Multi Objective Pinch Analysis (MOPA) for the evaluation of overall recovery potentials
for energy, water and VOC is presented. Moreover, a metric for resource efficiency is introduced as a measure for the possible
savings potential and for the savings ultimately realised. This integrated approach requires a tight coupling of mass, energy,
economic and environmental assessment methods and demands a highly interdisciplinary approach.
