From Waste to Worth: Advancing Sustainable Composites via Natural Fiber Screening

What we do

This transnational project aims to accelerate the uptake of circular composite solutions across NPA and Aurora regions by co-developing regional action plans, engaging stakeholders, and showcasing scalable innovations. Through coordinated mapping, joint strategy development, and targeted dissemination, the project strengthens institutional capacity and fosters regional innovation ecosystems. Uptake of solutions and strategies by public authorities and SMEs will demonstrate feasibility and support future funding potential. Communication plays a central role, with a lean structure ensuring visibility, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with programme requirements.
