The processes associated with product life extension require a different approach, often involving manual labour. The cost of labour, staff shortages, and the need for efficiency, along with numerous practical obstacles, present significant challenges for product builders. Collaborating with social ...

Removable coatings allow coated interior products to be reused several times, which will significantly extend their lifespan and ensure recyclable waste streams at end-of-life. The PEELDESIGN project is investigating and optimising such coatings so that they can be used for interior applications, as ...

Dutch startup FLASC has developed a system to store excess electricity from offshore wind farms onsite. That way, the parks can provide power even when the wind is not blowing.

You explore the 'inner circles of the circular economy' in your company and ecosystem: concepts with high potential for circular value retention, based on the 'R-strategies'. New terms are coming at you fast. Is it refurbishment, reconditioning or remanufacturing?

Researchers at Sirris demonstrate for first time femtosecond laser texturing of soft biopolymer coatings as a high-throughput method for surface patterning.

High temperature industrial heat pumps have a potential to significantly increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industries that require temperatures between 100 and 180 °C. Research anticipates that new heat pump technologies will enable reductions in industrial energy ...

At the end of 2023, the 3-year BREPLA project, with a focus on Biobased REinforced PLAstics, came to an end. During this project, Sirris worked together with project partner Centexbel – VKC to promote the implementation of biocomposites in industry. In addition to knowledge transfer on the different ...

Modular Lighting Instruments was keen to commit to refurbishing, but for a manufacturer of high-quality designer lighting, this is not an obvious move. Where are the opportunities? What does the business case look like? With Sirris' guidance and expertise, an internal team effectively managed to ...

In the evolving landscape of building management systems, the integration of advanced technologies with traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is essential. dnergy is at the forefront of transforming the way in which buildings manage their climate control systems ...

3E specializes in optimizing sustainable energy systems to reduce energy expenses for prosumers. One way of doing so is by integrating energy generators (e.g., solar panels) with storage solutions (batteries). This involves figuring out optimal battery-charging and discharging times, to import ...
