HORIZON 2020 Industrial Leadership Call for Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials and Production Networking and sharing of best practises in management of new advanced materials through the eco-design of products, eco-innovation, and product life cy

If You like see more detailed information about this call, and others, please subscribe EU Funds Register internet package.

·         share knowledge and practices on eco-design, eco-innovative solutions for manufacturing processes and eco-innovative business models in line with the Commission Communication “Innovation for a sustainable Future – The Eco-Innovation Action Plan” (COM(2011)899), minimise use of material, identify product life cycle scenarios that maximise the number of consecutive cycles of reuse, remanufacturing, or recycling, and/or the time in each cycle, diversify reuse across the value chain, or extend product or component longevity and thus increase advanced material productivity and profitability with final economic benefits for the European industrial economy as a whole; and

·         provide models to decouple economic growth from resource constraints. Eco-design principles, recyclability, required materials performance and cost-effectiveness could be part of the study.
