Thermal and acoustic insulation system from hospital waste valorization

R&D Project Manager at The Catalonia Institute of Construction Technology

Barcelona, Spain

About

The company presents an innovative solution that leverages the valorization of healthcare waste, currently mostly incinerated or landfilled, to develop carbon-neutral thermal and acoustic insulation systems, effectively addressing two significant challenges in modern construction: waste reduction and low-carbon building materials.

Key features include:

Circular materials with high technical performance: insulation panels and rigid boards derived from healthcare waste, compliant with EU building standards.

Environmental impact: over 80% recycled healthcare waste content, reducing embodied carbon and promoting full circularity and low-emission formulations.

Health-safe and regulation-ready: suitable for sensitive indoor environments such as hospitals, schools and offices.

Validated technology: prototypes tested and ready for real-world demonstration in collaboration with industrial partners.

The company also has the technical capacity to scale production and integrate its materials into modular systems, contributing to climate-neutral construction and circular building design.

Seeking collaborators in Horizon Europe to conduct joint research and apply the solution to sustainable construction projects. This technology not only reduces environmental impact but also offers economic and social benefits by effectively recycling waste materials.
