The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the RECIPLAC project, supporting the social integration company Andròmines and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC) in developing a new advanced computer recycling process which will make it possible to recover critical and high-value metals such as palladium, copper and neodymium magnets. The project [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has successfully tested new technologies to recover strategic raw materials including lithium, nickel and cobalt from various kinds of waste and by-products to help secure their supply, avert the environmental impact of their mining and support decarbonising by means of the circular economy. Critical raw materials (CRM) “are crucial to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Marbel project which has developed a new electric vehicle battery concept based on the principles of modularity and the potential for large-scale recyclability with a view to lessening environmental impact and unlocking the circular economy in the automotive industry. In Catalonia, alongside Eurecat the project has [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European Life Chandelier project which is to test using agri-food waste to produce biomethane for vehicles and make headway in the sustainability of the transport industry and rural development. Specifically, the project seeks to “develop a cost-competitive and feedstock-flexible solution anchored in innovative, modular technologies [...]
BATTECH, the joint research unit run by the Eurecat technology centre and the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), is this week showcasing technological innovations at the Battery Innovation Days, hosted this year in Barcelona, to make headway in recycling and reusing electric batteries at the end of their service life. As a pacesetter [...]
This week at IFAT Munich, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing the cutting-edge solutions and technologies it has developed for smart use of resources such as water and raw materials in businesses coupled with innovations which help unlock circularity, climate resilience, zero pollution and ecosystem stewardship. “Harnessing innovative environmental technologies will enable businesses to [...]
The European LIFE Biogasnet project has validated a new biogas purification technology, which allows improving the quality of this resource produced in urban solid waste treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of the cycle energy and promote the circular economy concept. Specifically, the solution "is based on [...]
El centre tecnològic Eurecat participa en el projecte HEREWEAR, que està impulsant noves solucions de materials basades en els últims desenvolupaments de cel·lulosa i polièsters de base biològica, dins d’un enfocament holístic que busca impulsar un mercat de la Unió Europea per a tèxtils circulars i peces de vestir produïdes localment a partir de [...]
