AXIA Showcases DST and Circular Value Chain Progress at BIOMAC 48M GA Meeting

BIOMAC’s 48-month consortium meeting was held on January 23rd, and AXIA Innovation had he pleasure to participate.  BIOMAC’s primary objective is to establish a self-sustaining Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) Ecosystem to facilitate the scaling up of Nanostructured Bio-based Materials (NBM) for market readiness and production.

The meeting focused on the project’s progress across both internal Test Cases and the external Test Cases selected through the open call. At this stage, all internal Test Cases have successfully achieved prototype development, covering applications in agriculture, automotive, packaging, construction, and printed electronics. Among the six external Test Cases, significant progress has been made, with promising outcomes anticipated by the project’s conclusion.

During the meeting, AXIA presented updates from months 42 to 48, highlighting advancements in the Decision Support Tool (DST) and the Circular Value Chain Assessment. The DST is designed as a web-based platform featuring two key functionalities: the Step-by-Step feature, which helps users assess the economic and environmental impact of their value chain, and an optimization model to assist users in identifying optimal solutions. Over the past six months, AXIA reviewed and updated processes within the internal Test Cases, successfully connecting four Test Cases to form a superstructure. Additionally, economic and environmental data were integrated into the database, and further development was made to the Step-by-Step feature
