COSENTINO: Valorización de residuos en la fabricación de Silestone
Fecha de vencimiento: 29-07-2025
El objetivo de este reto es encontrar oportunidades adicionales de reutilización para valorizar cantidades significativas de estos residuos encontrando opciones o alternativas más rentables a las ya estudiadas. El departamento de Investigación y Desarrollo de COSENTINO busca una aplicación industrial, un producto comercializable u otra solución para reutilizar los residuos. También buscamos empresas que puedan incorporar las materias primas de los residuos en sus procesos de producción, en cualquier ámbito posible, incluyendo la arquitectura y el diseño. Puede ser una solución ya existente en otro campo o algo completamente nuevo e innovador, o que añade valor a un producto mejorando sus propiedades. Las propuestas también podrían desarrollar las aplicaciones ya estudiadas por COSENTINO R&D, especificando opciones comerciales que las hagan rentables. Sin embargo, consideramos que las aplicaciones relacionadas con la mejora de suelos agrícolas y materiales de construcción (hormigón, mezclas asfálticas, etc.) ya han sido suficientemente estudiadas.
“TIM Smart Infrastructure Challenge"
