Sustainable transformation of textile sanitary waste into antimicrobial panels for construction
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
The project is proposed by the grouping of two entities: On the one hand, ANCOR TECNOLOGÍA, specialized in the manufacture and management of a variety of advanced products, especially focused on nanotechnology for antimicrobial applications; and, on the other, Sustein Material, S.L., specialized in the creation of construction materials through the recycling of waste from the health sector. They propose an R+D project, industrial research for the study of the recycling of disposable textile sanitary waste. To this end, ANCOR will work on the development of a biocide to be applied to the panels, and SUSTEIN MATERIAL will manufacture construction panels from textile sanitary waste. The entity proposes 3 results: an 80% increase in the number of secondary raw materials used, 1 new product with eco-design criteria and an 80% reduction in Group II and III hospital waste that is sent to landfills and incinerators.

The main objective of the project is the recycling of disposable sanitary tissue waste, classified as Group II and Group III and turning it into construction boards, and with antimicrobial properties. To this end, the group, made up of two entities, will work as follows: ANCOR TECNOLOGÍA will research the development of a biozida capable of sterilizing the materials obtained. For its part, the second entity, Sustein Material, S.L., will manufacture the boards from hospital textile waste.
