ABSolEU: closing the loop on ABS plastics recycling (ABSolEU)
Coordenador LocalEuropean Comission
At least 85% of end-of-life ABS plastic, found in durable products ranging from toys to automotive components and daily-use items such as shavers, ends up in landfills or being incinerated. The ABSolEU project aims to develop and mature a technology for the physical recycling of ABS, providing a clean and safe recyclate that is free of additives...Better Biobased Polymer Network (B3PO)
Coordenador LocalEuropean Comission
The chemical industry faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable alternatives. Replacing petroleum-based reactions with new, bio-based pathways will pave the way towards a circular industry. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the B3PO project aims to develop new methods for the synthesis of polyme...GREEN-X: Advancing Sustainable Polymer Innovation through Circular Feedstocks, Greener Materials, and Industrial Collaboration (GREEN-X)
CoordenadorEuropean Comission
Plastics and coatings rely on fossil-based resources. At the same time, industries are under pressure to cut waste and recycle more effectively. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the GREEN-X project brings together top universities and companies to create greener pathways in polymer chemistry. Their aim is to convert alt...Promovendo a sustentabilidade na reciclagem de plásticos: Utilização de eco-solventes para remover aditivos e melhorar adespolimerização enzimática (GreenPATH)
ParticipanteFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
O GreenPATH tem como objetivo desenvolver um processo de pré-tratamento sustentável que combine extração sólido-líquido de alta pressão (HP-SLE) com solventes renováveis de baixo custo, nomeadamente biosolventes e ...Desenho racional de uma esterase termoestável para a produção de bioplásticos de alto valor para aplicações biomédicas (ThermoEst)
Coordenador LocalFundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia
This project is focused on the design of customized thermostable enzymes to produce highvaluebiopolymers for biomedicalapplications.We are living a new industrial production paradigm era, where biocatalysis is becoming increasingly competitive and replacingtraditional chemical synthesis. Nowadays, ...European network of FURan based chemicals and materials FOR a Sustainable development (FUR4Sustain)
CoordenadorEuropean Comission
Modern society relies on a huge quantity of polymeric materials. However, today, these materials are still almost exclusively based on fossil-resources and evolution to a more sustainable model of development is required. In this perspective, biomass and, in particular carbohydrates from, for example, low value biomass wa...ILLIANCE (ILLIANCE (WP4 - OLI Health))
ParticipanteIndustry National
A Agenda ILLIANCE consubstancia-se num ecossistema complexo de projetos integrados que visam endereçar o objetivo de neutralidade carbónica associada ao sector dos edifícios, que representam 40% das emissões globais de CO2. A abordagem adotada assenta no desenvolvimento de tecnologias compleme...Publicações
