Main Objective

The Overall Objective of Convert2Green is to establish a sustainable, business oriented Open Innovation Ecosystem that provides upgraded technical facilities and specialized business development services for accelerating market entry of novel circular and carbon neutral material solutions in the European Key Value Chains.

Clean and autonomous vehicles; Smart health; Industrial internet of things; Clean energy solutions and low carbon industry. Based on that Convert2Green will enable 30% reduction of carbon dioxide emissions caused by materials manufacturing in the key value chains and will accelerate time to market of circular and carbon neutral materials solutions by up to 50% reducing development cost along the value chains by > 30%.

Convert2Green will complement the European Open Innovation Ecosystem (Open Innovation Test Beds, Pilot Lines and Digital Innovation Hubs) with services not present in other OITB by now: (1) Complete Eco-Impact Analysis from Raw Material to Product as a service including LCA, LCC, Safety and Toxicity; (2) TRL4 to 7 Process Chains for Smart Textiles and Processing of Fiber based materials; (3) TRL4 to 7 Process Chain for Electronics on Plastic, Paper and Textiles; (4) Pilot Facilities for recovering critical raw materials from products; (5) Pilot Facilities for Processing of recycled plastics and composites, (6) Pilot facilities manufacturing of (nano)fibers and composites from bio-sources.
