Efficient management and the use of limited resources is one of our society’s goals. Achieving a safe, reliable, economical and environmentally friendly supply of resources implies the efficient use of available resources to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the industry.
The CEN Workshop on “Evaluation of Process Intensification of Biorefining Processes for Economic and Sustainability Viability” was kicked off on 5 October 2023.
EUBsuperhub is a European project funded by the European Union's H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101033916. The project supports the evolvement of the certification process in Europe by the development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle, in a virtual marketplace.
In dynamic market environments, there is frequently a need for the swift creation of a reference document to streamline interoperability and compatibility, boost the adoption of innovative solutions, and pave the way for further advancements.
This workshop is motivated by the currently ongoing Horizon 2020 AGRO2CIRCULAR project (TERRITORIAL CIRCULAR SYSTEMIC SOLUTION FOR THE UPCYCLING OF RESIDUES FROM THE AGRIFOOD SECTOR), whose general objective is the implementation of the first territorial systemic solution for the upcycling of most relevant residues in the agrifood sector (fruits&vegetables and plastic multilayers) into high added value products, powered by a digital tool and constructed upon a systemic approach with high replicable/scalable potential.
Laminated glass is obtained by bonding glass layers using a polymeric interlayer. One polymer used as interlayer is polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Up to now, most of the post-consumer PVB material in laminated glass is incinerated or landfilled, and only 9 % are recycled in secondary uses. Recycling of PVB presents several difficulties related with the contents of glass, humidity, mixing of compositions and polymer optical degradation.
The planned CEN and CENELEC Workshop intends to develop a CEN and CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) describing a 'Methodology for the data-driven management of production processes', which allows to document the process lifecycle and gain knowledge through its application.
The objective of forensic methods is to obtain results with a measurement quality relevant (e.g., consistent, reliable and accurate) for the criminal justice system. This means that during the introduction or implementation of new forensic methods/technologies a specific step must be taken to prove in an objective way that the method is suitable for its intended use.
The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) calculation is an auditing process aiming at assessing the automation and control aspects of building. It requires a structured chronological sequence and corresponding obligations in terms of scope, aims and thoroughness. The SRI assessment requires inspection both of physical and operational aspects of building technical systems, including automation and control of building services.
This workshop is motivated by the industry need to identify and clarify the performance criteria of paint and coating systems for defence and security applications. There are numerous international, European, and national paint standards, but they do not take account of military constraints, which are different from those in the civilian sector. This is especially true of testing and performances criteria for land, air, and naval weapons.
