Material Match Making Platform for promoting the use of industrial waste in local networks (LIFE M3P)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,
Background
Although the management of waste continues to improve in the EU, the European economy currently still loses a significant amount of potential secondary raw materials, such as metals, wood, glass, paper and plastics. In 2010, total waste production in the EU amounted to 2.5 billion tonnes. From this total only a limited share (36%) was recycled, ...

Safe, Chemical-Free, Cleaning of Hospital Ward Surfaces (Cleanward)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
Cleanward aims to develop a novel, safe, user-friendly anti-microbial cleaning system, using titanium dioxide coated ultra-microfibre fabric that will integrate easily into existing contract cleaning equipment: it will achieve log105 microbial removal and the coating will react with water and UV to produce a highly reactive environment: this will kill all harmful micro-organisms quickly and thorou ...

Lightweight, long endurance body cooling for fire fighters (StayCool)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
There are about 500 000 professional fire fighters in the European Union (EU). When called to fight fires they can be exposed to high levels of heat stress, which results in decreased physical performance and even heat exhaustion. If a fire fighter succumbs to heat exhaustion he requires rescuing and this then exposes other fire fighters and the public to increased risk. In order to reduce the ris ...

An innovative phosphorus rich intumescent oligomer enabling commercially competitive high performance halogen free fire protection of polypropylene (PP-MIPS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
Offering good performance at low cost, polypropylene (PP) is a popular commodity plastic within many market sectors. However, due to its high flammability and low charring nature, PP is difficult to fire protected. Whist brominated flame retardants (FRs) are able to achieve excellent FR performance at moderate cost and with little impact on polymer properties, they release toxic and corrosive smok ...
