AGROMATTER CONFERENCE: DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE TECHNICAL MATERIALS
The AITEX Innovation and Research Center, through the Agromatter Network, organizes a free day for companies on November 3. To facilitate the attendance of interested companies, AITEX offers the possibility of registering online or attending in person (AITEX facilities in Alcoy).
During the Conference, new solutions for the development of highly sustainable technical materials derived from by-products or waste from the agricultural industry will be presented. In addition, different financing mechanisms of the CDTI will be presented and a face-to-face workshop will be held at the AITEX facilities.
Why should I attend?
Today there is a large amount of waste from by-products of agriculture, the agricultural industry and other types of vegetable waste. The challenge is to give a second life to this agro-industrial waste through its valorization and development of new sustainable materials. Specifically, AITEX develops solutions applicable to sectors such as textiles, cosmetics and nutraceuticals and construction.
