Fibrenamics from the University of Minho presents an innovative project based on waste
The topic of waste recovery is on the agenda, with some entities already aware of this issue. In this context, the Fibrenamics International Platform of the University of Minho, as a common denominator for innovation and multisectoral cooperation, intends to continue the work that it has already developed based on fibers, making an addition: the incorporation and recovery of waste from various industries . From this idea came the Fibrenamics Green - Platform for the Development of Innovative Products based on waste ”, a sustainable innovation project developed in partnership with the Center for the Valorisation of Waste (CVR) of the University of Minho.
Fibrenamics Green aims to use the successful innovative methodologies implemented by the International Fibrenamics Platform of the University of Minho, over the past 5 years, in order to generate models for transferring scientific and technological knowledge to the business fabric, applicable to the creation of innovative products using waste incorporation and recovery.
In this sense, Fibrenamics will organize on November 2, starting at 2:30 pm, an Innovation Open-Day to present the Fibrenamics Green project. In addition to the presentation of Fibrenamics Green's objectives and added value, this event will count on the participation of IKEA Industry Portugal, as well as a Technological Networking, where the materials and technologies used in product development will be made known.
Participation is free, but requires registration until October 31st.
