Eco-innovative pilot and market Eco-innovative pilot and market replication projects

Ecoinnovation : “All forms of innovation reducing environmental impacts and/or optimising the use of resources”

New processes, products, techniques, services

Eco-innovative pilot and Market Replication project s (1)

New processes, products, techniques, services

Pilot and market Replication projects :First application: help eco-innovative ideas reach the market (create the market)Replication: wide market application (enlarge the market)

• Bridge the gap between RDT and commercialisation

SME

Key ideas

Eco-innovative pilot and Market Replication project s (2)

• Focus on private sector and SME (but open to any legal entity)

• Life Cycle Approach

• Leverage factor and replication

What is not funded

• No RTD projects (-> FP7)• No public-oriented projects (-> LIFE+)

Eco-innovative pilot and Market Replication project s (3)

• No public-oriented projects (-> LIFE+)• No energy-focused projects (-> Intelligent Energy Europe)• No awareness-raising or dissemination projects • No mere promotional or marketing activities

5 priority areas

5 priorities

• Sustainable building products• Food and Drink• Greening businesses• Water

Background

• Very high raw material and energy consumption

• More than 50% of all materials extracted from earth are transformed into the sector

Sustainable building products (1)

earth are transformed into the sector

• Construction and Demolition Wastes amount to more than 450 m tonnes / year in the EU

What is expected

• Innovative construction products and related processes that reduce consumption of resources, embodied carbon and production of by-product

Sustainable building products (2)

embodied carbon and production of by-product waste (= 2011 text – finetuning in 2012)

• Significant environmental impact in all phases (construction, maintenance, repair, retrofitting or demolition).

Types of ongoing projects

• New construction products/materialse.g. Insulation materials using recycled waste (EAMT, Insulat FH), environmentally

& health friendly materials (ECBP)

Sustainable building products (3)

& health friendly materials (ECBP)

• Innovative water systems (including water

saving and reuse)e.g. System for leakage detection, reuse of grey water for non potable water

demand (AutoLeak, Cyprobell)

INSULATFH

• New process to produce pre-insulated timber

frame panels with cellulose pulp insulation

• Project features:

Sustainable building products (4)

• Project features:

� Processing of waste paper into pulp

� Controlled filling into wall panels

� Delivery of complete panels to the building site

ECBP (Ecolabelled Chemical Building Product)• New product : a wooden floor adhesive that

does away heavy metals and VOC

Sustainable building products (5)

• Project features:

� Increasing/optimising production capacity

� Searching for local distributors in EU

ECO²BUILDING

• Introduction to EU markets of an eco-friendly

construction system for industrial and

commercial buildings

Sustainable building products (6)

commercial buildings

• Project features: � Bringing up together architects, timber construction engineers,

building and sofware engineers

� Building 18 buildings targeting first in Austrian market

� Set up of a franchise system to reach EU market
