Summary from source

Expected Outcome: Innovative advanced materials designed for circularity are adopted in products faster, through accelerated production and technology uptake; Business models become available to enhance the use of circular advanced materials in strategic value chains; and Resource efficiency (materials and energy) is increased significantly through a focus on circular advanced materials. Quality standards, harmonisation and regulatory requirements are addressed facilitating simplified market transition. Scope: The focus of this topic is on enabling circularity and resilient supply networks through R&I in advanced materials, in particular recyclable polymers and composites, magnets and metal (alloys) for additive manufacturing, and on accelerating their pathway to market. Proposals should develop new innovative advanced materials (IAMs) with superior or novel functionalities designed for …
