ResPa - Consumers' role in responsible packaging - Improving circular economy innovation capacities in packaging value chain
The overall purpose of the project is to strengthen companies’ innovation capacity and green skills within the packaging value chain, emphasizing the consumer’s role in the circular economy. This will be achieved through the development of new educational content delivered via targeted micro‑credentials (a constellation of five digital open badges).
ECOVAL – Green Economy Valle d'Aosta
The project supports the Valle d’Aosta Region and the partners involved in achieving the objectives of the “R&D Aggregations” call, promoting the competitiveness and economic development of the territory and generating concrete benefits for the growth of companies and the research system.
EcoPlast – Empowering Circular Operations in the Automotive Plastics Value Chain
EcoPlast is a project funded by the European Union within the framework of Horizon Europe. The main objective of the EcoPlast project is to develop complete digital solutions based on Industry 4.0 to improve circularity in the value chains of plastics used in the automotive sector. The project will focus on: the production of high-quality, non-toxic and durable recycled materials; an increase in the share of recycled materials in new products; an increase in recovery rates; recycling and upcycling, and a wider spread of recycled materials for high value-added applications. In this way, EcoPlast will improve the sustainability, competitiveness and resource independence of European industry, improving benefits for consumers and citizens.
IPeR, Interdisciplinary approaches and Processes for Research on precision oncology
IPeR aims to create technological devices and algorithms for precision oncology, with the aim of simplifying the evaluation and implementation of improvements in the therapy of colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and metastatic melanoma.
EOLIAN – Bio-based, repairable and recyclable vitrimer composites and advanced sensors for highly reliable and sustainable wind blades
Wind turbine blades are made up of composite materials, but current wind blade composites exhibit relatively short life spans, are problematic to repair and are difficult to recycle. The project will develop an innovative new smart wind turbine blade, manufactured from an infinitely recyclable circular platform chemistry, with in-mould electronics (recyclable sensors and heating actuators) that detect damage early before it becomes a major issue.
