Imagine your company is having issues in waste  management, or looking for LCA options, or working on an Environmental Product Declaration, or wishing to test or develop new circular materials; in a word, you are looking for materials-related circular solutions: where would you look for them?

CE4Con - Circular Economy for Construction industries is a new project that Materially has been collaborating on since January 2023 and will end in August of the same year. A digital platform to support manufacturers of façades and building envelope components, in the design and production of new items with recycled material, by providing access to technical information on material sourcing, characteristics and availability. In this way, materials audit and waste management planning will be done more efficiently from the start.

INFURI, the initiative that aims to make the wood furniture industry more circular, held its final conference was held at the end of May.

This is it: last April 30, the GRETE project came to its official conclusion. It is not easy to summarize the last 4 years in a short article, especially since a lot has happened in the last few weeks and some work is still ongoing.

Materially is partner of numerous European research and innovation projects, including GRETE and DATEMATS which, with different approaches, objectives and methodologies, address the issue of wood-based materials..

The GRETE project, co-financed by the European Commission through the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking instrument, will propose new technologies and processes for the generation of artificial cellulose-based fibers, less impactful than the solutions currently available on the market.
