🔬 We boost knowledge on the impact of micro and on the human body!

💡 In order to contribute to assess the impact of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNP) on human and environmental health, within the project, ITENE is working on two main topics:

◼ Development of computational models for the prediction, on the one hand, of the potential human exposure to MNP in occupational environments when these materials are released in industrial processes and, on the other hand, focused on predicting their fate when they are released into the environment, and their behaviour in different environmental matrices. Currently, the developed models are in the validation phase, in order to optimise the algorithms, if necessary, to increase the robustness of the predictions.
◼ Coordination of case studies for the validation of the developed methodologies focused on the characterisation, monitoring and biomonitoring of occupational exposure to MNP, and the assessment of their effects on human health. In relation to this, experimental measurements are being carried out in real environments to determine the release of micro- and nanoplastics during processes in sectors such as the production of plastic products or the treatment of plastic waste.

In addition, the European Commission has recently published a fact sheet entitled "Research and innovation to address the impact of environmental factors on health", in which it has used as an example to illustrate the collaboration between different projects related to the field of health and the case of the European Research Cluster for Understanding the Health Impacts of Micro and Nanoplastics, CUSP_Research, of which ITENE is part in the PlasticsFatE project.

📑 The PlasticsFatE project, which brings together 28 partners from 12 European countries, continues to progress with very positive results.

🍽 Innovative solutions to reduce food loss and waste!

💡 Within the ZeroW project, ITENE has been working in 2023 on the design of a that separates the exudates from the salmon to extend the shelf life of the packaged product (salmon), as well as working on solutions that improve the of the material of the tray.

In addition, ITENE is also developing a new indicator label that will give the an indication of the freshness of the packaged product. The freshness indicator label can be interpreted at a glance by the consumer and can also be read through a mobile that is being developed.

📋 The project brings together 46 international partners and aims to reduce and by half by 2030 and to achieve near zero food loss by 2050, among other goals.

♻ We replace hard-to-recycle with recyclable, safe and planet-friendly materials! 🌍

🔬 From ITENE we are working on the Redondo project. The progress of the project has been positive. We started from the assumption that polyethylene (PEX) has interesting thermal, chemical and mechanical properties, which make it a material of great interest for a multitude of applications, such as cables and pipes. However, due to the existence of cross-links in this type of material, PEX cannot be or .

Therefore, in order to develop fully reversible cross-linked polymers (rPEX) that can be recyclable, ITENE is contributing to the development of from CNC and MFC modified by chemical processes with a and by design ( ) approach. Currently, the developed additives are being used in different rPEX formulations, in order to evaluate their processability, retardant and mechanical properties, as well as to assess the safety of these products.

📑 The project consortium is made up of 11 international partners, and its main objective is the creation of a fully reversible cross-linking process to create sustainable cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) by design that can be a recyclable polymer.
