WEBSOST project, in which we have carried out research in collaboration with SAINT-GOBAIN WEBER CEMARKSA, has successfully created a new environmentally friendly mineral binder as an alternative to Portland cement. Today's society is facing new challenges such as climate change or the scarcity of natural resources such as water, which need to be solved under a globalised strategy. Thus, the United Nations created the Sustainable...

Today we received in our facilities the consortium of the project led by Depuración de Aguas del Mediterráneo to evaluate the results obtained and to establish the next steps to follow. So-called "emerging contaminants" (ECs) are certain chemical substances whose presence in water can pose a risk to the environment and human health. These substances include pharmaceuticals, hormones present in oral contraceptives, or drugs of abuse...

Within the framework of the POLIAC project we managed to obtain biopolyols from plant sources for use in food packaging. It is a project of the company Cromogenia, which now reaches its final stretch with the industrial scaling of the solutions investigated. The substitution of fossil raw materials for others of sustainable origin is an established trend within the chemical and manufacturing industry in general. Cromogenia Units,...
