This project has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) with the aim of promoting technological development, innovation, and high-quality research.

“A way to make Europe”
SYSPRO AUTOMATION, S.L.U

At SYSPRO AUTOMATION, we have been selected by CDTI (Center for Industrial Technological Development) to receive funding for our new R&D project:
“Automated and optimized production of micro/nanoparticles of cellulose from recycled paper” (IDI 20210367).

The objective of this project is the research and development of systematized and automated processes for obtaining cellulose nanofibers from the valorization of paper and cardboard waste, to be used as a reinforcement material in enhanced recycled papers.

Nanocellulose possesses unique properties that make it highly versatile for various applications. It offers high strength, a large surface area, lightweight properties, and rigidity, while also being a sustainable resource. By utilizing raw materials such as wood, agricultural residues, fruits, or paper waste, high-value applications can be developed across different sectors.

To integrate this project effectively, we have applied our R&D efforts in several cutting-edge fields, including:

• The production of micro/nanoparticles of cellulose
• The automation and sensorization of processes at a pilot scale
• The application of R&D in micro/nanoparticles of cellulose for enhanced paper production

This project has been executed in Nigrán (Pontevedra), starting in 2020 and concluding in December 2022. It was carried out with the support of a grant of up to €580,014.50, representing 85% of the total approved budget of €682,370.00.
