Follow #BIORING_for_DUMMIES in our linkedin profile to find out the BIORING concept explained with drawings made by our colleague Blanca Araujo We want to bring #European_research closer to society as a whole. With Bioring for Dummies we explain the BIORING project in a visual and simple way. #renewable #biocoatings #biodegradable #recyclable #EU #Innovation

#BIORING_project will be present at the next NanoInnovation conference to be held on 9-13 September in Rome. We invite you to register for the event and learn more about our advances in the development of biobased building blocks for novel high-performance biocoatings. https://lnkd.in/dVnazVTw #BIORING_CONSORTIUM CSIC | Process Design Center | Keuken & de Koning B.V., process engineers & consultants | GAIKER Centro Tecnológico | Airi - Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca Industriale e | TEMAS Solutions | Exportun | GRUPPO COLOROBBIA | Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e.

Who is who in BIORING #CONSORTIUM In which part of the process does Leibniz-Institut für Katalyse e. V. (LIKAT) is participate? 70 years of catalysis "know-how" forms the basis of the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT Rostock). The Institute for Catalysis Research, the forerunner of LIKAT Rostock, was founded in Rostock in 1952 – the first research institute in Europe dedicated exclusively to catalys. Today, the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis is one of the largest publicly funded research institutes in the field of applied catalysis in Europe. Through the use of high-performance catalysts, chemical reactions are carried out in a resource-saving manner, increasing the yield, avoiding by-products and reducing the specific energy requirement. Efficient use of all resources is only possible with successful catalysis research. Already, four out of five chemical products undergo a catalysis cycle during their production. In addition to their use in chemistry, catalytic applications are increasingly being found in the life sciences and energy supply, as well as in climate and environmental protection.

Who is who in BIORING #CONSORTIUM What are the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos main research in BIORING ? Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) promotes research aimed at economic and social development, encouraging and strengthening research activities and the dissemination and transfer of knowledge and results to society. The promotion of R+D+i activities is carried out through collaborations with companies and institutions and participation in national and international research projects, which allow our researchers to develop their investigation, contributing to the generation, expansion and dissemination of knowledge and the advancement of science and technology. URJC researchers involved in the BIORING project are part of the Chemical & Environmental Engineering Group and have a great deal of expertise in developing new catalytic processes for waste valorization and in the environmental assessment of new processes. URJC activities in BIORING project are mainly focused on two main tasks: the chemocatalytic synthesis of bio-based monomers to be used in the formulation of the final coating, and the application of the LCA methodology to assess the sustainability of BIORING solutions. @jovita moreno @stevie lima  #BIORING_Consortium

#Highligts form our Workshop. Third discussion group! PROCESS AND DESIGN MODELLING The third group dealt with some issue of open-source modelling software, often the only ones economically affordable for bio-companies: their reliability is inconstant, mainly due to the problem of transferring and translating data from a platform to another one. Integrate process modelling with LCA was another challenge highlighted, to be addressed most likely defining optimization parameters using both quantitative and qualitative data. But which data? There could be a gap between your needs and data available in software’s databases, that may not include the substance you’re working with (like lignin for BIORING): this could become a good opportunity for data mining. Overall, working with databases owners and companies is almost mandatory; thus, a common exchange format for all kind of process data would be ideal. Follow us to know more about this !!

#Highligts form our Workshop. Second discussion group! ASSESSMENT & FORESING TOOLS The second group discussed about foresight tools, proposing some options like the SUNSHINE questionnaire, but with the need of moving out from the nanotechnology framework in favour of the chemistry one. Moreover, talks and meetings with experts have been proposed as valuable alternative or complement to these tools, in a co-creation perspective. Indeed, considering that in BIORING we still have to face data gap (e.g. in the End-of-Life), and that different tools don’t allow merging data with one another, the best mindset should be to use several options, like tools and expert meetings, to face all these unknowns.

#Highligts form our #Workshop, First discussion group! ! WHICH ARE THE CHALLENGES OF EARLY ASSESMENT? The first group faced the problem of lack of information at the early stage of the innovation process. On this concern, look carefully at the process and its upscaling since the very begin, estimate impacts and have a clear question to answer before starting the analysis, have been proposed as good practices and widely shared. As well, since dealing with chemicals could bring high level of uncertainty in risk assessment, even when considering similarity within similar molecule families, focus only on components that are used in significant quantities and apply machine learning are viable solutions. In this context, performing a qualitative LCA at the beginning of the material development could provide a useful starting point to share early on with industrial partners, to detect right away deviations from reality, and promote communication among them.

#Highligts form our Workshop ! Addressing SSBD of #biobased coatings: How to address safety and sustainability dimensions in new high-performing biobased coatings? That’s what we are working on in #BIORING, and to better answer we hold our first Open Innovation Workshop, titled Early sustainability assessment in innovation process. Share good practices on anticipatory risk assessment, prospective, ex-ante LCA and more. We gathered several experts in SSbD, LCA, chemicals, materials and process design & modelling, and data analytics for an open discussion on methods, tools, data and case studies. The starting point was the BIORING anticipatory approach in the evaluation of potential product development and life cycle impacts, and the challenges we are facing in the development of our sustainable biobased coatings for high-demanding applications. After a brief presentation of the project and its objectives, we introduced our approach for the BIORING early sustainability assessment, providing highlights on the LCA, foresight tools, and design & process modelling applications. In order to discuss, explore and share experiences on these main aspects/challenges, participants were divided into three groups concerning: Challenges of early assessment. Assessment & foresight tools. Process and design modelling.
