Grant Agreement No.: 688920
Participants from Belgium:
• Ghent University (partner)
• OVAM (partner)
• IVAGO (partner)
• City of Ghent (AB member)
Core objective: To provide local and regional authorities with an innovative transdisciplinary open source geodesign decision support environment (GDSE) developed and implemented in living labs (PULL) in six metropolitan areas. The GDSE allows creating integrated, place-based eco-innovative spatial development strategies at a quantitive reduction of waste flows in the strategic interface of peri-urban areas. Focus on waste as a resources, circular economy, lower environmental/social/economic/spatial impacts.
SPW PROJECT: REPAIR
SPW PROJECT: DESIGN FROM RECYCLING
≠ Design 4 Recycling
1. Designing products to be manufactured in recycled polymers
2. Matchmaking between recycled (mixed) polymers and new products
3. Identifying strenghts of existing waste streams (upcycling)
4. Demonstrate eco- and resource efficiency
NOVEMBER 2015-OCTOBER 2017
SPW PROJECT: PROFIT
Bringing the municipal waste refinery to a next level: Plastic Recuperation and
valOrisation FIT for use
Pipeline thinking: from waste to product - opportunity for complex streams?
Focus on both technological and societal/sustainability issues
