The general objective of the project is the valorization of waste from the use of personal protective equipment, including health care equipment.
The objective is pursued by studying the key phases of a potential circular supply chain for the production of such devices (acquisition of raw material and pre-processes, production, use, end of life), focusing on the following specific objectives:
(i) definition of a sustainable production model for the production and management of IPRs, which, in the context of the COVID19 pandemic, has clearly denounced its absence
(ii) integration of specific skills and production capacities now fragmented and dispersed throughout the territory
(iii) production of new knowledge (on issues of greater value such as: ecodesign, regenerative materials, waste hierarchy) transferable to different application areas and other production chains
(iv) application of circular economy principles in an integrated territorial production chain, in accordance with the Circular Economy Action Plan promoted by the EU in order to accelerate the transition indicated by the European Green Deal.
The study will clarify the criticalities and specific opportunities with respect to the state of the art of knowledge and industrial technologies actually applicable, with the ultimate goal of indicating specific areas where it is convenient an industrial investment in the short, medium and long term.
