R&D - Project

SUSAAN Completed

Development of antimicrobial and antiviral nano-coatings

The SUSAAN project is developing sustainable antimicrobial coatings for textiles and high-use surfaces, involving the textile, bathroom and switch sectors.

BIOSUPHYOL Completed

Development of bio-based and PFAS-free coatings

Development of non-toxic, bio-based (>80%) alternatives to PFAS to provide superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity to paper and textile packaging.

BIOFLOC Ongoing

Development of a bioflocculant production process

The BIOFLOC project aims to develop and validate a production procedure for a bioflocculant consisting of a bacterial consortium, produced under non-sterile conditions on a medium formulated from waste from the industry

SLUDGE2BBI Ongoing

Production of PHAs for bio-based chemistry from sewage sludge and organic materials

Development of PHA extraction technologies from sewage sludge to produce biodegradable, bio-based building blocks for green chemistry.

SAFE Ongoing

Sustainable bioeconomy: aquaculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, and integrated freshwater uses.

The SAFE project aims to make aquaculture more sustainable by valorizing solid and liquid waste from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) through circular economy approaches.

HEMICOAT Ongoing

Conversion of Hemicelluloses into Coatings

Valorization of hemicelluloses from lignocellulosic biomass through extraction and fermentation for the production of bio-based compounds used in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, and surfactants.

MULTIO Ongoing

Optimized water and energy management in natural pools

Functional, modular pools for optimized water and energy management in tomorrow’s sustainable housing.

GEPI4REE Completed

Recovery of rare earths from electronic waste

Specific microflotation system for rare earth ions for the development of a recovery and purification process for Neodymium from electronic waste.

DAF3D Completed

Antibacterial textiles and 3D filters for process water treatment.

The DAF3D project aims to develop and validate an antimicrobial filter combining functionalized textiles and 3D-printed supports for the treatment of process water at a demonstration scale.

AOPTi Completed
