History
The research laboratory where universities and businesses work together to form scientific excellence, stimulate curiosity and bring out talent and passion at the service of industrial innovation has been inaugurated at the Siropak Italia plant.
The ViVACE model is born: an innovative visualization tool that allows you to quantify the flows of resources in different business scenarios, making new and / or unexplored opportunities visible and providing data for the calculation of sustainability KPIs (environmental, economic, social).
The project, financed by EIT Climate KIC funds (2020), dealt with the definition of a methodology to support companies in carrying out a feasibility study relating to the recovery of phosphorus from the waste of agri-food companies and its reuse for fertilizer production.
The #CORRIPULITO project, held on the occasion of the VIII Edition of the Alzheimer’s Marathon (15/09/2019), aimed at optimizing the management of plastic waste produced during the event through a practical implementation of a circular economy.
The RICIRCOLA – Plastic Waste Free project proposed a new model for managing plastic food trays throughout their life cycle, through the implementation of an integrated supply chain aligned with the principles of circular economy.
The practical-educational project I AM A PRO-ACTOR anticipates the insertion of high school students within the industrial context, through the form of collaboration PCTO (former school-work alternation), in order to support companies in the activation of sustainability and circular economy paths.
From the experiences gained in previous years, Turtle Srl was born, a spin-off of the University of Bologna dedicated to measuring and improving industrial sustainability.
