FUR4Sustain
FUR4Sustan COST Action is working on the whole value chain of furans, in particular on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid chemical. I mean we are working on the starting feeding stocks, the furan chemicals we can obtain from it; on polymers, composites and hybrid materials thereof; and on bioeconomy and recycling. Above all we are working within a sustainable rational of development.
For this, we count on with a great network of academics and industrials from all over Europe (30 countries, 50 institutions and over +7 industries)!
