The BIO-SUSHY project, funded by the EU under Horizon Europe, is an interdisciplinary initiative involving 15 partners, including research institutions, SMEs, a university, and a national standardization body. Launched in January 2023 and concluding in December 2026, the project aims to develop high-quality, durable, and sustainable coatings as alternatives to polluting polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). These coatings leverage bio-based thermoplastic powders and hybrid sol-gel technologies, adhering to the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework. Applications span textiles, food packaging, and glass cosmetic packaging. Key objectives include developing three PFAS-free repellent coatings, conducting toxicological assessments, and refining formulations using in silico modeling and sustainability assessments (LCA, S-LCA and LCC). 

The GoldenRAM is a Horizon Europe-funded project that aims to facilitate the easy exchange of accurate information on Raw Materials within the European Union and with partnering resource-rich countries.

These AIKPs will simplify complex computation workflows. The G-RAM platform will provide seamless access to a unique and validated combination of geological and remote sensing data, domain expertise, and multipurpose mapping technologies for stakeholders in the geological and mining industries. The G-RAM platform's effectiveness will be demonstrated in six field trials located in Finland (two sites), Sweden, Romania, Ukraine, and Portugal. This will showcase a compelling value proposition for implementation across the mining industry value chains, ultimately improving the responsible and sustainable supply of Critical Raw Materials.

In the REPurpose project, local, post-consumer waste is upcycled to new functional "REP polymers" targeting the high-value market of thermoplastic elastomers that nowadays encounter recycling problems. REPurpose’s X-factor  lies in the non-fossil content steering REP to higher value than the original plastic waste fractions: the first biodegradable and recyclable elastomeric polycondensates in the world. To enable this development, the REPurpose consortium is spanning the value chain from i) waste handler, recyclers and regulatory framework advocates over ii) specialty bio- or waste-based building block producers, iii) technology developers for REP polymerisation, processing and detection, to iv) end users for consumer goods, automotive and building and construction, all advised by experts in safety- and sustainability-by-design, life cycle assessment, business modelling and Responsible Research and Innovation.  The research challenges will pave the way for bringing the innovation to the broad public and creating a resilient and sustainable European plastics industry.

EuReComp is an EU funded collaborative research project with a strong focus on circularity, set out to provide sustainable methods towards recycling and reuse of composite materials, coming from components used in various industries, such as aeronautics and wind energy. The cumulating composite wastes are more prominent than the needed new composites. The aircraft and wind energy sectors contribute to a major share of this. Across all industries about 60% of waste fibre reinforced composites is landfilled, causing severe societal and environmental issues. EU’s Circular Economy plan seeks to reduce the landfill down to 10% by increasing the rate of recycling.  As landfilling is highly discouraged in wind and transport sectors, relevant stakeholders seek to replace it with more advanced technologies and end-of-life options, which promote the recycling of carbon fibres. The main pathways that EuReComp proposes to achieve circularity will include repairing, repurposing and redesigning parts from end-of-life large scale products and recycling and reclamation of the materials used in such parts; thus, accomplishing reduction of waste and transformation to high-added value products. The methodologies developed within the EuReComp project, will be further tested and validated by developing 5 demonstrators using novel manufacturing methodologies and incorporating recycled materials, obtained from different recycling processes, leading to a range of new circular composites.

The EU-funded Platform-ZERO project is developing a new industrial process-monitoring platform for third-generation PV using AI to revolutionise the production process and impactfully reduce defects and costs.

The innovative concept is based on nano-engineered hybrid (multi)materials and their intelligent architectures. The strategic goal is to provide the frame which will create new pathways for manufacturing of FRPs for multiple processing life cycles, and explore the emerging valorisation opportunities in offshore energy sector. A multidisciplinary team of 18 partners (8 SMEs) from 8 countries provides technological know-how and industrial leadership, with well-balanced dissemination, communication & exploitation impact.
