[Invitation] Meet the SB&WRC project partners and discover the insulation prototypes

The SB&WRC project is part of the Programme Interreg VA France (Channel) England and benefits from financial support from the ERDF.

The SB&WRC project partners are pleased to invite you to the closing event of the project. It will take place on June 18 at 2:30pm at Veolia's headquarters. Veolia is one of the project partners, with Nomadeis, lead partner of SB&WRC, who designed and led the European project, the communications partners ASBP and Construction21, and researchers from ESITC Caen, UniLaSalle Rouen, Brighton University and Bath University. They will present you the results obtained during the design, testing and development of the 3 prototypes of low carbon insulation. It is also the opportunity to discuss with them the prospects for the commercialisation of the three products. 

The project 

The SB&WRC project, an undertaking of more than two years, aims to conceive, produce and test three innovative, low-carbon, thermal insulation materials from agricultural co-products and recycled waste. The project is supported by the development program Interreg VA France (Channel) England and its budget, estimated to be €1.8 M, is co-financed by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) for 69% (€1.26 M contribution).
