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.
