Contact person: L. Ricci

Subproject within the Piano nazionale di ripresa e resilienza (PNRR) – Partenariato Esteso “3A-ITALY”, tematica “11. Circular and sustainable Made-in-Italy”

The project focuses on exploring and improving the use of natural fibrous by-products, natural fibrous materials and local natural fibrous waste production chains (e.g., textile, agro-industrial, livestock, forestry), by companies involved in the disposal of fabrics, as well as by the rediscovery of local production of “forgotten” fibers. The aim of the project is the production of new materials, bio-inspired composite materials, components, semi-finished products, products and services for the textile and clothing sector, furniture and construction sector.
