Project EFFECTIVE Consortium Meeting: Project enters its final stage
Circular Change, as a communication partner, is taking part in the project Effective which aims to demonstrate the production of innovative bio-based polyamides and polyesters from renewable feedstock. Twelve partners work hand in hand to develop biobased innovation to make everyday life products such as garments, carpets, films for food and non-food packaging applications circular and sustainable.
The EFFECTIVE consortium meeting of 2022, the first in-person meeting since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, was held in Garda and Arco, Italy from Jun 14 to Jun 15. The leading partner, Aquafil S.p.A, welcomed the consortium partners at its headquarters.
Special guest and the international partner of the project Genomatica (USA) was present to discuss the future of circular biobased materials and how this will apply to future development of the project.
Entering the final stage of the project, the meeting allowed the consortium partners to share updates on the progress and discuss the next steps:
Discussion on the advancements and progress of each work package of the project
New improvements made in R&D by Sudzucker, Aquafil, Novamont, and Bio-Mi
LCA and social LCA process updates from LCE and CIRCE
Updated communication for the next months by Circular Change
Share views and results to pave the way forward
Next joint communication steps.
The path towards the pilot plants and the final event of the project
Defined next goals and milestones
The consortium meeting included the guided visit to the production facilities of Aquafil S.p.A. in Arco, Italy. Each consortium member has the opportunity to get first-hand experience on how sustainable and circular nylon 6 is produced. The visit included the whole process units and the testing area with the laboratory pilots of the project.
