Bio-engineering of leather: structure design, biosynthesis - Towards zero emission production (DERMAGENESIS)

Obiettivo

The project addresses the most prominent issues of European Tanneries: availability, quality and yield of raw material, as well as pollution prevention and control. Major goal is to develop a new, cost effective bio-manufacturing process for the production of a smart, innovative product, tailored for the specific needs of footwear manufacturers, to be used as raw material by tanneries, that will guarantee: controlled biochemical composition, standard and consistent quality, process yield increase, substitution of chemical with high tech biological processes, 50 - 60% reduction in water consumption and in pollution loads. The complexity and strategic importance of the problem is a challenge that cannot be addressed by single SMEs; therefore the project complies with the objectives and falls within the scope of application of Collective Research. Expertise from two Universities and three sectorial research institutions, as well as Bioreactor and Tannery Machines developers will be amalgamated with eight SMEs technical skills, under the leadership of six lAGs. Starting from the product specification definition, attained with the participation of all industrial partners, tissue engineering techniques used for biomedical applications will be transferred, adapted, optimised and validated.

The stepwise research approach comprises design, development and testing of cells, materials, protocols and bioreactors. The project is expected to yield demonstrators tested at lab and pilot scale, including bioreactors, matrices, culturing protocols and a stabilisation system as well as a waste treatment / recycling system, towards a closed loop production approach. Moreover, industrial feasibility of Dermagenesis will be assessed in conjunction to fitness for end use of Bio techno leather (model shoes). In parallel, training of skilled personnel and the definition and exploration of exploitation pathways, will involve directly SMEs and lAGs.
