Waste Material

A German SME from North Rhine-Westphalia collects and processes candle and grave-light waste to recover wax as a secondary raw material. The company is developing a modular recycling process designed to separate wax, plastics, metals and other components from mixed candle waste and return them to material cycles. It seeks machinery manufacturers, process engineering companies and research organisations for the joint de-velopment and testing of separation, purification and recycling technologies.

A technology SME, operating in France and Italy, is developing a satellite-data decision engine that helps water utilities cut network water losses and target pipe-renewal spending. Under a European Space Agency proof-of-concept project, the company seeks a water utility to join as pilot end-user: providing a real network, validating results and shaping the commercial roll-out.
