RE-DIRECT stands for Regional Development and Integration of unused biomass wastes as Resources for Circular products and economic Transformation.
|
It is an approach to develop alternative coal products from organic wastes, based on an innovative technology developed at the University of Kassel and firstly implemented Baden-baden (DE) and near Bangor (Wales). |
|
| We have participated in the CPD which is a blended learning course consisting of a powerful e-learning and web-development environment and a 2 day training event in Baden-Baden. We also particpated in an additional module on Product development from alternative charcoal, which is a 3-days Design Thinking workshop. |
RE-DIRECT aims at sustainable regional development based on the idea that an intelligent use of waste biomass opens the door to the Circular Carbon Economy.
The course was extremely interesting - we met 100 people in Baden-Baden from 10 European member states and learnt a lot - not only about the technology but also on economic aspects, product development and value chain development.
Our group already created 3 prototypes for alternative products from charcoal and we are eager to present them during the next f2f session in Wales!
