R&D Projects

CEDaCI Project – Interreg

The CEDaCI project aims to facilitate the integration of a circular economy for the data center industry, and more specifically for critical raw materials in North-West Europe.

The CEDaCI project aims to facilitate the integration of a circular economy for the data center industry, and more specifically for critical raw materials in North West Europe, increase their reuse, extend their life by reusing equipment, reduce the use of virgin materials, reduce the waste and environmental impacts of equipment and develop a sustainable and secure economy for the supply chain sector of these critical raw materials.

European Project – IRTC Business

The IRTC project is coordinated by the ESM Foundation in Switzerland and funded by EIT RawMaterials. EIT RawMaterials, initiated and funded by the EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology), is the largest and most powerful raw materials consortium in the world.

Its vision is to make raw materials a major asset for Europe. Its mission is to boost the competitiveness, growth and attractiveness of the European raw materials sector through radical innovation, new educational approaches and guided entrepreneurship.

PlastiCity project – Interreg

The aim of the PlastiCity project is to develop strategies and solutions to increase the recycling rate in these urban environments from 20-30% to 50% by devaluing these "lost plastics" as a secondary resource.

The PlastiCity project analyzes the various players in the region and potential waste flows, in order to develop and apply new strategies to minimize leakage and increase recycling rates for plastic waste.

European Project - SusCritMOOC

SusCritMOOC is coordinated by the ESM Foundation, Switzerland, and funded by EIT Raw Materials. EIT RawMaterials, initiated and funded by the IET, is the largest and most powerful raw materials consortium in the world.

Its vision is to make raw materials a major force in Europe. Its mission is to boost the competitiveness, growth and attractiveness of the European raw materials sector through radical innovation, new educational approaches and guided entrepreneurship.

ScoreLCA - Carbon Capture, Use and Storage

CCUS are all the techniques that make it possible to avoid emitting CO2 or to remove it from the atmosphere, and then to use or store the carbon in various forms. CCUS will be necessary to achieve carbon neutrality. Once GHG emissions have been reduced as much as possible, the residual emissions will have to be stored.

WeLOOP has carried out a project with CyVi and ScoreLCA on carbon capture and storage techniques and the methodological challenges for LCA.

European Project - CALIMERO

CALIMERO is a project funded by the European Union, which aims to improve current methodologies for analyzing the sustainability (environmental, social and economic) of the life cycle (LCSA) of certain sectors of the biobased industry, in order to identify and improve the most impacting aspects.

Current methods do not take into account some important factors that will be addressed in the project, in order to get a broader and more reliable picture of the sustainability of biobased industries. Improving current methodologies is therefore essential to finding greener, more sustainable solutions.

European project - MOXY

Tangible cultural heritage assets constitute an invaluable and irreplaceable resource of humanity, which are increasingly threatened by contaminants from pollution, vandalism and fire. Currently available cleaning methods require solvents which can be detrimental to art materials, and harmful to health and the environment.

The MOXY project (2022-2026) aims to develop a new green non-contact cleaning technology, based on atomic oxygen to remove contaminants in a non-contact, without health or environmental concerns.

European project - Bio4HUMAN

The Bio4HUMAN project, a Horizon Europe aims to contribute to the identification of bio-based solutions for solid waste management that have the potential to be applicable in various humanitarian settings.

The project will conduct a scoping exercise that will identify a list of solutions as well as existing supply chain gaps, followed by a cycle assessment of the proposed solutions and an evaluation of their applicability concerning socio-economic and governance aspects.
