Is a cow’s stomach the answer to breaking down hard-to-recycle plastic?
There’s no questioning whether plastic is an important material in our daily lives. However, European citizens generate about 25 million tonnes of plastic waste, but under 30 % is collected for recycling. Plastic waste is mostly burned, so more eco-friendly processes are being sought. The waste is having serious negative effects on our health and […]
Smart materials help heal wounds
EU-backed scientists show us how smart materials called magnetoactive polymers (MAPs) could someday be used to stimulate healing in epithelial wounds. MAPs change their mechanical properties in response to their surroundings. A revolutionary development in the fields of solid mechanics and materials science, these materials consist of a polymeric matrix (an elastomer) with miniscule magnetic […]

The UAL advances in R+D+i in agrifoods
On April 29, the UAL and Kimitec have developed a project under the name of ‘Cátedra Kimitec-Farm to fork’ in which research, dissemination and research training activities will be launched under the concept ‘Farm to fork’ (from farm to fork). The purpose is to promote an agri-food production system that ensures food protection and, at […]
Support for simple programmes – Union quality schemes
Scope The objective is to increase the awareness and recognition of the Union quality schemes, namely: quality schemes: protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG) and optional quality terms; the logo for quality agricultural products specific to the outermost regions of the Union. Information and promotion programmes on Union […]
