Recovery of titanium sheet waste to manufacture titanium metal powder through atomisation. The VARTIP project valorises titanium sheet metal waste with the objective to manufacture high-value titanium powder and promote its future commercialisation. In this sense, VARTIP is developing a centrifugal atomisation technology for high melting point metals, which will allow to manufacture spherical powders, an indispensable characteristic to accomplish in most of powder applications. The valorisation process consists in a direct transformation of the sheet scrap into powder by atomisation, without intermediate stages, which makes it a more energy-efficient and economically advantageous process. Eurecat participates [...]

Innovative water recovery solutions through recycling of heat, materials and water across different and multiple sectors. The iWAYS project develops a set of technologies in order to increase water efficiency through three main solutions: exhaust condensation, water treatment and waste valorisation. Other than water, the project is also focused on energy and material recovery from exhaust gases, thus improving the raw material efficiency and reducing emissions detrimental to the environment. Despite the efforts made to achieve the transition towards a more eco-friendly society and industry, the annual global extraction of materials tripled over the last 50 [...]

Innovative insulating and energy storage materials in building envelopes that have climate adaption capabilities. The iClimaBuilt project develops and implements advanced energy technologies materials, with improved insulation and energy harvesting properties, for smart building materials which have the ability to adapt to a diversity of climates. On the other hand, iClimaBuilt updates and designs facilities called “Open Innovation Test Bed”, which provide the industry with services focused on the design, development, testing and validation of different technologies and materials for saving energy and reducing emissions. Additionally, to promote Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (nZEB), the project will provide [...]

Development and implementation of digital and circular water use innovations to promote a sustainable use of water and advancing sustainability process of industries. The AquaSPICE project aims at materialising circular water use in the European Process Industries, fostering awareness in resource-efficiency and delivering compact solutions for industrial applications, including water treatment and reuse technologies, as well as closed-loop recycling practices. The project is also developing a cyber-physical-system controller which includes a system for real-time monitoring, assessment and optimisation of water use and reuse at different interconnected levels. The project follows a systemic approach in water management [...]

Creation of a new alliance for the digitisation of SMEs through the application of Artificial Intelligence. The AI REGIO project aims at filling three major gaps that currently are preventing regional AI-driven DIHs from implementing fully effective digital transformation pathways for their Manufacturing SMEs at policy, technological and business level. At policy level, regional smart specialisation strategies for efficient sustainable manufacturing and digital transformation are insufficiently coordinated and integrated at cross-regional and pan-EU level. AI Regio foster closer cooperation across European regions, EU and non-EU countries to make sure innovations can scale. On the other hand, [...]

Development of an innovative AI-empowered Personalised Medicine system that bring medical “AI-empowered knowledge” to the tips of the fingers of clinicians and clinical researchers. The KATY project aims to develop an AI-empowered personalised medicine system built around two main components: a distributed knowledge graph that connects sources of medical knowledge, and a pool of “explainable predictors” which allows the AI to model patient outcomes. The AI-empowered knowledge is a human interpretable knowledge that clinicians and researchers can understand, trust and effectively use in their daily working routines. In this sense, the system developed relates the information [...]

New product of natural origin which acts as a salty taste enhancer. The Salt4Health project has the objective to develop a new product of natural origin that can be used as a salty flavour enhancer and able to avoid the antihypertensive effects of salt. Nowadays, the increased production of prepared food, together with the new rhythms of life, are transforming in a very important manner the dietary patterns of society. Additionally, the offer of ultra-processed food, most of it with excessive levels of salt, is increasingly high and accessible. All this has caused that the consumption [...]

Integrated, innovative and viable solutions to reduce the use of copper and its environmental impact in SUDOE region vineyards. The use of phytosanitary products derived from copper to prevent diseases in organic and conventional viticulture causes serious environmental problems. According to the European Union, vineyards concentrate the highest amount of copper in soils. In this sense, the COPPERPLACE project develops and validates a series of integrated, innovative, and viable solutions to reduce the use of copper and its environmental impact in vineyards. The solutions promoted within the project will be transferable and durable to allow that the [...]

New microcapsules with perfumes for detergency and cleaning products that do not generate microplastics. The GreenCAP project pursues to improve the leadership and excellence of the Spanish company in the development of detergents and cleaning products that do not generate microplastics. In recent years, the application of microcapsules has spread widely in sectors as different as food, medical, cosmetic or textile due to the benefits that these systems present, with respect to the use of active compounds without encapsulation. However, current capsules contain non-degradable polymers and are defined as generating microplastics. This problem also affects the [...]
