recycling;
-
processing and compounding of recycled polymers;
-
recovery and reuse of textile fibres and other secondary raw materials;
-
development and validation of new products using recovered materials;
-
design for circularity, disassembly and recycling;
-
material and product characterisation and performance testing;
-
broad network of actors in the field (SMEe, SCOs, local authorities, etc)
