Low energy treatment technology for leachate valorisation (LIFE LEACHLESS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Background
Although recycling rates have increased in Europe much waste is still landfilled, especially in Mediterranean and Eastern European countries. Landfills present long-term threats to soil, air, groundwater and surface water. This is mainly due to leachates, the liquid fraction continuously produced from solid waste that is dispersed when rainfall ...

Demonstration of an integral and sustainable system for multi-waste recycling and valorisation (LIFE REVA-WASTE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Background
Spain accounts for 14% of the EUâs livestock, producing around 76 million tonnes of manure every year. About 70% of this manure is used as fertiliser, giving a new use. However, mismanagement of manure can lead to soil, air (greenhouse gas emissions) and water pollution (eutrophication).
The plastic industry is another important source of wa ...

Pervasive Air-quality Sensors Network for an Environmental Friendly Urban Traffic Management (RESCATAME)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Background
Air pollution remains a serious cause for concern in Europe. High pollution levels have a significant adverse effect on human health and on the environment, particularly in urban agglomerations where traffic emissions are high. A recent study carried out by the Observatory of Sustainability in Spain (OSE) on air quality in cities shows that liv ...
