About
ITENE contributes as an innovation integrator, connecting technological development with environmental sustainability, industrial competitiveness and societal transition objectives.
Core contributions
1. From bio-based resources to circular products: Development, processing and validation of bio-based materials, polymers, additives, coatings and functional solutions enabling circular value chains and reduced environmental impact.
2. Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD): Integration of safety, toxicology, environmental performance and regulatory alignment throughout innovation development, supporting EU Green Deal and Chemicals Strategy objectives.
3. Scale-up and industrial validation: Translation of research results into demonstrable solutions through pilot plants, real-condition testing, recycling validation and industrial feasibility assessment.
4. Circular economy and systems perspective: Analysis and optimisation of value chains, recyclability, waste management systems, logistics and end-of-life scenarios to ensure true circular implementation.
5. Bridging technology with societal and policy impact: Contribution to evidence-based decision making, sustainability assessment (LCA/LCC), and alignment with European transition policies — enabling integration between STEM innovation and socio-economic transformation.
