  2. CIP Competitivness and Innovation Framework Programme 2007- 2013 (3,6 billion €) Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) (60% of total CIP budget) Information and Communication Technology Policy Support Programme (ICT-PSP) Intelligent Energy-Europe Programme (IEE) Financial instruments Enterprise Europe Network Four main instruments Innovation projects and eco-innovation first application and market replication projects Policy analyses, development and coordination

  3. Eco-innovation Eco-innovation in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP) Financial instruments Network of actors Pilot and market replication projects

  4. Pilot and marketreplication projects call 2008 • First Application and Market replication projects ~ €195 million (2008-2013) • Committed budget for call 2008 was € 27.85 million • 44 out of 134 project proposals selected (majority recycling projects) • 75% SMEs among participants75% • ~180 partners in total • 26 countries involved

  5. NUMIX Title:High performance lightweight aggregate for concrete from recycling of plastic waste Acronym: NUMIX Start: 1 July 2009 - End: 30 June 2012 Budget: 1.275.556 € Centro Riciclo Vedelago - Treviso - Company operating in the field of plastic recycling • SGI Studio Galli Ingegneria SpA • Padova – • Engineering company operating in the sectors: water, environment, energy, civil engineering and transport • DFS Montenegro Engineering • Podgorica – • Engineering company operating in sectors: infrastructure, energy and environment • ACCIONA INFRAESTRUCTURAS S.A • Madrid – • European leader in construction and civil infrastructure • CETMA • Brindisi – • Research Center

  6. Project objectives ITo promote an industrial process based on using the scrap resulting from the sorting of recycled plastics (from both solid urban and industrial/craftmade/commercial waste), to produce: IITo develop a sizeable European market. 1. expanded granules to be used as aggregate for lightened structural and non-structural concrete, substituting the expanded clay; 2. densified flakes to be used as aggregate for mortar and as raw material for product 1.

  7. Expected results • Benefit the environment by reducing the percentage of scrap resulting from the sorting of recycled plastics destined to incineration. • Make available to construction industry a reliable, innovative, environmentally friendly, economically viable and competitive alternative for lightweight concrete and mortar production. • Create partnerships among European industries, involving industry operating in the field of: • recycled plastic, which will be made able to produce the expanded granules, • concrete manufacturing, which will produce lightened concrete and mortar containing the innovative aggregates, • concrete manufacturing, end-user of the building product containing the innovative aggregates.

  8. Market barriers Higher material and production cost Lack of sufficient valid and generally accepted guidelines, rules and standards Common scepticism related to new products properties, such as design/structural performance and durability
