The ALIGNED project will provide a modelling framework to assess and optimise the environmental and socio-economic performance of bio-based industries.

CISUTAC is looking for a solution to the current bottlenecks in the transition to circular and sustainable textiles and clothing.

SUINK will do away with large amounts of copper cables in millions of cars by replacing them with bio-based piezoelectric modules. It is a great example of how a novel technology can reduce the use of raw materials while increasing the bio-based and/or recycled content in the automotive sector.

RECYCHECK aims to develop a test method based on the targeted contaminants. In order to work out this test method properly, it is necessary to divide it into different parts, where both homogenisation of the sample and the selection of the best suitable analysis device are important steps.

The TOOL4LIFE project manufactures tools in thermoplastic materials with hybrid technology (AM followed by milling and in-mould coating). The process makes it possible to use less polymer material, consume less energy and emit less CO2.
