The five partners involved in the project have already taken part in numerous projects involving national and international cooperation and were chosen on account of their specific skills and technical expertise, with the aim of guaranteeing the success of the project. They operate in four main areas: mineralology, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and ecology. A combination of expertise which means taking full advantage of the potential to create added value.
The academic and research partners bring the essential know-how from their numeric and experimental laboratories (equipped with cutting-edge simulation tools and measuring technology) and great experience in product development. The institutional partners have significant experience in communication and in the development of strategies and have a strong background as network builders. The results will allow the development of protocols to reduce the production of waste and improve the re-use of waste products.
