Green and sustainable products & materials from non-critical & secondary raw sources

Ambition: To create products and materials for advancing sustainability and circularity of Made-in-Italy sectors using alternative raw sources: waste, industrial residues, and non-critical minerals.

No data was found

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.
