Maker Faire Rome 2023

One Health Lab

The bioeconomy is not only the set of activities of food, bio-energy, and bio-materials production, but includes all activities that transform biological resources into other products. In many cases, as in the forestry sector and in many areas of biomaterial production activities, no processes are involved biotechnological but biophysical or biochemical, which makes the technical and scientific skills of the Laboratory absolutely suited to this time of crucial transition, accepting the challenge of integrating the bioeconomy and the circular economy into a new concept known as the circular bioeconomy. The Demonstrator to be implemented by the Macronode@UNISI ensures the marriage of innovation (generation of know- how), quality and sustainability in a multidisciplinary and multiproduct vision (use of know-how) proposing and using green and bio-based solutions: a model that aims at real circularity, a unicum in the eco-sustainable life sciences sector nationally and internationally. The experimental laboratory will be organized as a Bioeconomy Innovation Lab with the aim of creating a platform for the development of products derived from a waste, capable of making the process of formulating a new product and put it on the market, connecting the raw material and subcontractor industries, as well as offering the ability to carry out quality control testing, stability, material studies and realization of product prototypes.
