Projects of Interest
The following table lists a series of both LIFE and non-LIFE projects having common issues with LIFE microTAN.
Project Reference | Acronym | Common issues with LIFE microTAN |
LIFE13 ENV/IT/000840 | GREEN LIFE | Development of new technologies to reduce the environmental impact of the leather processing industry. It focus in the liming stage and proposes an enzymatic and oxidative liming process to produce leather of the same quality, with reduced environmental costs. |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000243 | LIFE SHOEBAT | Creation of an interactive tool, which brings together the most environmentally friendly methods applicable to the tanning and footwear sectors. |
LIFE11 ENV/ES/000562 | IBERWASTE | Valorisation of Iberian pig wastes. Proposes the use of an ECO-hydrolysis procedure for the transformation of protein pig wastes into amino acid. |
LIFE13 ENV/ES/001115 | LIFE+ VALPORC | Valorisation of animal by-products (e.g. carcasses) from the pork industry. |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000406 | LIFE GISWASTE | Development of a GIS-based methodology and IT tool which simulates the technical, economic, and environmental viability of the recovery alternatives for the agrifood by-products (chiefly vegetables, meat, and dairy products). |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000309 | LIFE DYES4EVER | Use of biopolymers (cyclodextrins) as encapsulation agents for dyes. |
LIFE10 ENV/IT/000404 | NOW | Promotion of the prevention, recovery and recycling of waste produced by organised large-scale distribution, with a particular focus on organic (i.e. food) waste and thus contributing to reducing CO2 emissions. |
LIFE13 ENV/ES/001138 | LIFE TEXTILEATHER | New procedures for the finishing operations at tanneries. |
LIFE13 ENV/IT/000470 | LIFE ECODEFATTING | Use of products of natural origin, capable of substituting chlorinated currently used in the defatting phases during the leather tanning cycle. |
LIFE12 ENV/IT/000356 | LIFE RESAFE | Production and use of a fertilizer based on urban organic waste, bio-char and farm organic residues. |
LIFE11 ENV/ES/000574 | LIFE ecoRaee | Industrial preparation process for reusing wastes (electronic equipments). |
LIFE11 ENV/ES/000513 | MASTALMOND | Use of almond residues in the formulation of biodegradable plastics. |
LIFE10 ENV/IT/000364 | ECOFATTING | Use of new fatliquoring products of natural origin, capable of substituting chlorosulfonated currently used in the fatting phases during the leather tanning cycle. |
LIFE10 ENV/IT/000365 | PODEBA | Use of recycled waste (poultry dejection), as bating agent in the leather tanning process. |
LIFE12 ENV/IT/000352 | BioNad | Use of by-products of the dairy industry (lactose) as modifiers of water-insoluble dyes, for its application in the leather industry. |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000265 | LIFE ADNATUR | Use of natural products to improve coagulant efficiency in the primary treatment of wastewaters at urban and industrial level. |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000315 | LIFE CO2SHOE | Development of a carbon footprint calculation tool for the footwear sector, which allows the measurement of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by each pair of shoes. |
LIFE12 ENV/ES/000727 | LIFE REVA-WASTE | Sustainable management of a broad spectrum of wastes (non-recyclable fraction proceeding from waste treatment plants and industrial, together with biomass, livestock and agro-food wastes) in an integrated plant. |
FP7-ENV.2013.6.3-2-603986 | PILOT-ABP | Production of collagen-derived biopolymers from the protein fraction of rendered animal by-products (PAPs). |
FP7-KBBE-2009-3-5-02-245084 | ANIMPOL | Valorisation of wastes from slaughterhouses, animal rendering industry and waste fractions from conventional biodiesel manufacture by producing improved biodiesel and biodegradable high-value polymeric materials (polyhydroxyalkanoates - PHAs). |
2012-1-IT1-LEO05-02837 | CO.PE. | Improving skills scenarios for leather products sector in the European Union. |
2013-1-TR1-LEO03-50777 | EU-Shoe | The Adaptation of European Union, Footwear Education, Design and Product Systems being examined to Turkey Footwear Industry. |
