European Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (LIFE ECAP)
Date du début: 7 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 6 mars 2019,
Background
The linear production and consumption model of the EU clothing sector leads to high environmental impacts, for example, in terms of carbon emissions and water resources. A report for the EU27 in 2009 revealed that 9.387 billion tonnes of textiles waste is either landfilled or incinerated. In the UK, textiles disposal is the highest by tonnage a ...

Demonstration of a 100% non-toxic hull protection and anti-fouling system contribution to zero emissions to the aquatic environment and saving 3-8 % heavy fuels (ECOTEC-STC)
Date du début: 1 juin 2006, Date de fin: 1 déc. 2009,
Background
Marine structures such as ship hulls need protection against corrosion and the attachment of marine organisms such as algae and barnacles, known as biofouling. Biofouling negatively affects the hydrodynamics of the hull, increasing drag and thus the necessary propulsive power. As well as increasing fuel costs up to 40% this also necessitates re ...

SAND
Date du début: 6 janv. 2003, Date de fin: 29 juin 2008,
River basins cross nation state boundaries, therefore action to tackle flooding must be undertaken on a transnational basis. The key objective of SAND is to alleviate flooding by making better use of the gravel pits that line many river basins. The five year project, which is being led by the Dutch Rijkswaterstaats East Netherlands Directorate, draws together five riverine authorities from three N ...
