Il Progetto GREENLIFE4SEAS nasce dall’urgente necessità di trovare soluzioni sostenibili per due grandi problemi ambientali: il destino di 200 milioni di m³ di sedimenti, spesso contaminati, dragati ogni anno nell’UE, e lo smaltimento di 490.000 tonnellate/anno di gusci, uno dei rifiuti più impattanti dell’acquacoltura europea. GREENLIFE4SEAS mira a dimostrare la fattibilità tecnica, la piena sicurezza e la redditività commerciale di soluzioni innovative per il recupero e il riutilizzo in sito dei sedimenti portuali dragati e dei gusci, che vengono utilizzati come “materie prime seconde” per la realizzazione di sottoprodotti sostenibili attraverso una tecnologia di miscelazione ottimizzata.
GREENLIFE4SEAS is carried out by a triple-helix model of Consortium, where synergy among research capitalisation, industrial symbiosis and governmental partners as primary stakeholders is the key to innovation and sustainable growth in a knowledge-based economy.
GREENLIFE4SEAS results will epitomise a concrete contribution to improve the EU environmental policy for waste management, circular blue economy and aquaculture.
