Industrial Feather Waste Valorisation for Sustainable KeRatin based MAterials. (KARMA2020)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

According to European Commission, 13.1 million tons of poultry meat was produced only in the European Union (EU-28) in 2014 with an estimated generation of 3.1 million tons feather waste. At present the majority of poultry feathers are converted into low nutritional value animal food or disposed in landfills, causing environmental and health hazards. In this context, the overall objective of KaRMA ...

Multi-functional light-weight WALL panel based on ADAPTive Insulation and nanomaterials for energy efficient buildings (ADAPTIWALL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Achieving EU’s energy-efficiency targets (2050 goals) depends on the right measures to retrofit existing building stock, which is dominated by residential buildings. Approximately 85% of the existing dwellings were built before 1990 with poor façade and roof insulation. Due to this weakness much energy is wasted when operating auxiliary heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations. Curr ...

Rapid deployable kits as seeds for self-recovery (S(P)EEDKITS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Humanitarian organisations like the Red Cross have sleeping emergency response units (ERU), which start acting immediately after disaster strikes. Each ERU has a specific function, e.g. medical care, sanitation, energy provision, or water supply.Current equipment solutions will be scanned and bottlenecks with respect to large volumes and/or heavy weight will be identified. Then, novel materials an ...
