Objectives

SEEDS employes a multidisciplinary approach encompassing mineralogical, materials science, engineering and toxicological knowledge to gain eco-sustainable building and construction materials with suitable characteristics for different applications (e.g., road construction).

The project aims to develop strategies to mitigate the CO2 emissions preventing the disposal of valuable products while developing low energy-required products.

The scope is obtaining a laboratory validation of the sediments-based product (Technology readiness level, TRL, of 4) with possible extension to preliminary industrial evaluations (TRL 5).

This image represents the steps to be followed during the project, starting from the characterization of the materials, the processing involving the output materials and the evaluation of the chosen model with publications and presentations.
