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...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))
