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 matur...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 b...Publicações
