Sustainable production of Cellulose-based products and additives to be used in SMEs and rural areas
Ecoresources is about to sign the Grant agreement for the participation in the CELISE project (Sustainable production of Cellulose-based products and additives to be used in SMEs and rural areas) that will be funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE).
The aim of the project is to create multinational partnership between European research and innovation institutions, industry, and research teams in third countries in order to exchange knowledge and experience concerning cellulose-based materials using biomass residues processing in small and medium enterprises and rural areas from Europe and Latin-America. In order to fulfil the sustainability of the complete process, the new products and processes will be chosen taking into account the social(rural and/or vulnerable areas, portable pieces of equipment and educational programmes), environmental (use of natural additives and biomass residues as raw materials, removal of chemicals reactants in the processes, bioenergy) and economic (every-day products in construction, packaging and health sectors, artisan economies, engineering and mathematical tools to optimise the business models) points of view. The project enhances the development of knowledge and scientific excellence by enabling European universities and industries to establish the development of knowledge and scientific excellence by enabling European universities and industries to establishand maintain contacts with their partners in third countries thereby facilitating access to research environments outside Europe and promoting synergies on a global scale with corresponding directly to EU & UN prioritiesand within someglobal goals of sustainable development.
With the role of a non-academic partner Ecoresources will offer the visiting researchers the necessary help to be able to carry out their work in suitable conditions.
