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

The STONE project aims at promoting the sustainable use of local stone slurry («Perlato di Sicilia» (Sicily), «Pietra Lavica dell’Etna” (Sicily), «Pietra di Apricena» (Apulia) and «Marmo di Carrara» (Tuscany) for:

Process optimization through circular management that could reduce the environmental impacts of waste disposal and valorisation of raw materials at a geo-cluster scale.
Made in Italy product innovation, high quality and avant-garde advanced/eco materials (also reusing stone waste through biomineralization processes) and components for indoor/outdoor living spaces and temporary housing solutions (e.g., objects, tiles, panels and panels).
Technological transition with digital methods (eg additive manufacturing) for modular, scalable systems, versatile and controlled production, also with a view to disassembly and reuse at the end of their life.
