Elast2Sustain focuses on developing new sustainable TPE through different routes. We will investigate whether mechanical or chemical recycling can be used to obtain building blocks that can be reused as raw materials.

Innovative new technology for the removal of brominated flame retardants from plastic waste. The project also demonstrates how these so-called 'difficult' plastics can be reused as new raw materials, thereby drastically reducing the amount of plastic waste produced

SUBBIMATT will create a safe and sustainable by-design framework and develop different materials essential for the final demonstrators that will demonstrate the benefits in a wide range of energy-related technical end-uses. We will produce bio-inspired smart textile materials (STM) with mechanical actuation, energy harvesting and tunable fabric openness.

The ARIADNE project is investigating a novel palladium-free and environmentally friendly surface preparation process for textile metallisation with tunable properties to produce conductive fibre materials for embedding in composite materials.

Pre-normative study focusing on drawing up sustainability requirements with the aim of extending the lifespan of textiles.
