Joint workshop “The Future of Advanced Polymers and Composites: Strategies for Improved Sustainability”

The communication and dissemination plan of ZeroWasteLIFE foresees the organization of at least 3 workshops during the project to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and support the networking with other EU initiatives and/or projects.

A joint event has been organized by Zero Waste Life and Tool4Life projects (Tool4Life ref: TOOL4LIFE- LIFE21-ENV-IT-TOOL4LIFE/10107as299) on 24 September 2024 to network with other LIFE Horizon Europe projects.

Many presenters and attendees contributed to sharing insights and inspiring conversations about 17 several LIFE and Horizon Europe funded projects in the fields of materials sustainability, circular economy, and composite materials.

New connection with Scientific and Industrial Audience were achieved thanks to the active participation of public, industrial and technical stakeholders from LIFE projects: LIFE CFCycle (ref. LIFE20 ENV/DE/000312) ;  LIFE CIRCE ( ref. LIFE 18 ENV/IT/000155) and  TARPAULIFE  (ref. LIFE23-ENV-IT/101147948) and  Horizon Europe  projects:  POLYNSPIRE (funded under the call CE-SPIRE-10-2018); DECOAT (funded under the call CE-NMBP-26-2018); CISUFLO (funded under the call CE-SC5-28-2020 – Develop and pilot circular systems in plastics, textiles and furniture sectors); FURHY (funded under the call HORIZON-CL4-2022-RESILIENCE-01-11 – Advanced lightweight materials for energy efficient structures); PLOOTO (funded under the call HORIZON-CL5-2021-D6-01-09 – Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable transport infrastructure, with a focus on inland waterways); RARE2 (funded under the call HORIZON-CL4-2022-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-01 – Rapid reconfigurable production process chains (Made in Europe Partnership); ECOFACT (funded  under the call DT-FOF-09-2020 – Energy-efficient manufacturing system management) and ITAM (an industrial project led by RINA).
