Reduce the environmental impact of stone fabrication and disseminate best practices for the re-use of waste products
An Interreg project between Italy and Austria that creates synergies between universities, research cen-tres and quarrying companies
Improve the competitiveness of the sector, create awareness among public institutions on a local and na-tional level
Cleanstone was devised to transform the stone-manufacturing sector into a modern, competitive sector based on technologies with a low environmental impact. An interdisciplinary project which aims to modernise the production chain and create new levels of awareness. A trans-national collaboration between five academic, research and institutional partners, involving numerous quarrying companies from the area. It is the first attempt to integrate recycling/reuse techniques in a single framework, designed specifically for SMEs in the stone-manufacturing sector.
