Periodic Reporting for period 1 - DS Products study (Feasibility study of internationalisation of dust control products using innovative cleantech technology)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-07-01 al 2015-12-31
In addition, the economic viability of the products was evaluated. Also the regulatory and technical requirements in the target countries was clarified to ensure that the products under development will meet them
Pilot customers had very good experiences with the product, and saw very large benefits from it’s usage.
Customer feedback from use of DS-walls was very positive. They were able to reduce dust protection of 5m2 from 1-2 hours to 3-5 minutes, and to keep temperature and draft of air within needed boundaries to allow molding. They also saw that possibility to quickly change place of DS-walls brings huge savings compared to traditional method.
By their opinion, product was marketready and they recommend its usage.
Product also saves much of the plastic and other type of waste to environment as it replaces many one-time-use materials.
Market studies show that DSF has potentiality of 13,5 M€ - 135 M€ within EU-18 dust protection market of at building renovation and demolition areas. From this DSF aims to have 120 M€ by year 2020.
It is seen that to develop business further more funding is needed. Although if good results come from first sales, i.e. larger sales to some international rental companies, need for fund-ing is reduced. Further funding would be needed to develop rest of the DS-system, namely DS-Door, and few other versions of the DS-Wall.
As socio-economic impact, it is expected that after successful growth of Dust Shelter, it will allow to create new jobs in many countries, regarding its manufacturing and delivery. Also, since usage of products reduces waste and quickens the construction project in different stages, it will have also secondary impacts.
