AXIA at GREEN LOOP project 24M
In Katowice, Poland, the review meeting of GREEN-LOOP took place on October 9th and 10th, hosted by the partner Główny Instytut Górnictwa (GIG). The primary objective of GREEN LOOP is to devise innovative solutions for bio-based materials within a circular business framework, aimed at overcoming barriers associated with novel manufacturing techniques, enhancing energy efficiency, and establishing sustainable value chains.
On the first day, AXIA Innovation presented the work done on Circular business models for innovative bio-based materials and manufacture for each, where the methodology and the first step of it was shown. It included the categorization of the Circular Economy strategies existing and the review of the levels (micro, meso, macro) within the Circular Implementation. The product lifecycle process of each value chain; bio-rubber panels, bio-plastic caps, wood composite bearings, and the assessment of the applicable circular economy strategies to each.
The second day, AXIA highlighted the work done in the second year of the project, focusing on work package 7. This phase involved the further development of the exploitation plan, reviewing the Key Exploitable Results and the partners’ exploitation and protection intentions. Additionally, an initial individual business plan was formulated for partners interested in commercially leveraging their innovations.
Furthermore, AXIA is actively developing tasks 7.4 and 7.5, which involve the replication cases and fostering synergies with other projects funded by Horizon Europe, resulting in the creation of a cluster called Bio-Matters. Here Axia developed a methodology to better access the replication cases and is also supporting the cluster’s activities and collaborating to create stakeholder engagement.
The meeting also included a visit to GIG’s facilities, showcasing the fully equipped radiation laboratory. This gathering served as an excellent opportunity for AXIA to engage with fellow consortium partners, fostering discussions, sharing insights, and planning for future steps.
