Objectives

  • Rational, predictive design and synthesis of new products and materials for use in Made in Italy sectors, based on alternative sources: post-consumer waste and non-critical, residual feedstock.
  • Transition from Linear to Circular Made in Italy model through advanced chemical design and processing.
  • Improve societal acceptance and consciousness of CE models and technology transfer.

Main activities

01

Development of materials from post-consumer waste:

  • Closing the loop: products from molecular recycling of waste;
  • Treasure from waste: depolymerization of plastics and synthetic textiles;
  • Urban mining: chemical recycling of critical metals for fashion and high-tech.

02

Development of materials from non-critical and residual sources:

  • Future raw materials;
  • Plant-based materials;
  • Optimization of industrial symbiosis.

03

Development of green materials and processing:

  • Functionalization of consumer products to highly efficient, eco-friendly materials;
  • Safe and circular by design: processes, products, and materials via Green Chemistry metrics;
  • Design of sustainable value chains for Made in Italy sectors.
