A huge percentage of the recent European cultural heritage (CH) can be found in movies, photographies, posters and slides produced between 1895 and 1970 were made using cellulose derivates. More than 75 years of visual and audio memories are in serious danger to be lost due to the natural instability cellulose acetate (CA) and Cellulose nitrate (CN) materials. These physical media have helped to preserve the cultural material that is a real witness of socio-cultural European evolution in the recent era. It encompasses the possibility to understand the development of new arts such as cinema, photography or graphic arts and also the preservation of the socio-cultural memories of citizens located in major and local museums worldwide. Conservators consider two approaches when planning treatments to extend the useful lifetime of cultural materials: preventive or passive and active or interventive. But in case of cellulose derivates and other components of the movie or photos, once initiated, degradation cannot be prevented, reversed or stopped, but only inhibited or slowed. Inhibitive conservation of cellulose derivates can either involve the removal or reduction of factors causing degradation including light, oxygen, acids, fungus and relative humidity among others, as well as cost-sensitive processes such as freeze. NEMOSINE improves the traditional storage solutions, such as freeze storage (below 5ºC), by developing an innovative package with the main goal of energy saving and extent conservation time. NEMOSINE will develop: i) High O2 barrier and Active packaging using non-odour additives, ii) Active acid adsorbers based on functionalized Metal Organic Framework (MOFs) integrated in innovative structures, iii) Gas detection sensors to monitoring AA, O2 & NO, iv) Multi-scale modelling to correlate degradation & sensors signals, v)Packaging with modular design to fulfil the technical & economical requirements of the different CH made by cellulose derivates.

SOPHIA addresses to the problem of photovoltaic panels End of Life, their management and the society awareness on electronic waste management. The project will implement several Advanced Digital Solutions, involving all actors in the value chain, in order to increase the reuse and repair rates of these products. For the evaluation of the State-of-Health and dismantling of PV panels, a robotic prototype based on IA model will be created. In cases where it is not possible to repair and reuse the PV panels , they will recycled by shredding sorting, and specific upcycling processes for each byproduct.", Because of their traceability and information available in the Digital Product Passport (DPP), the panels will be easily identifiable, hence the PV panels will be recycled by type and composition, increasing the quality of the obtained secondary raw materials, thus reducing waste generation. The repaired panels and secondary raw materials will be put up for sale on a marketplace, with the aim that all these products that are marketed have traceability provided by the DPP. Furthermore, in order to achieve goals and high circularity for the panels in the long term, an eco-designed and easy dismantling solar panel will be developed as prototype. It is expected that in the long term, the project will help to increase social and corporate awareness about the panel production impact, aiming towards a full ecodesign practise fully sustainable PV industry. Additionally, SOPHIA will contribute to the generation of new markets around the photovoltaic sector across Europe.
