Focus of concern of the web site

It is suggested to confine the scope of the present

project to:

The industrial applications (manufacturing industries from handicrafts to small-and medium-scale enterprises (SME's).
Building applications.
Infrastructural applications (e.g., geotextiles).
Other agricultural applications (fodder, composting … etc.).
Energy.

The aforementioned areas have been chosen with the following considerations in mind

In these areas there are considerable potentials for substituting the unsustainable use of non-renewable material resources with the sustainable use of renewable material resources, which goes in harmony with the principles of sustainable development.
These areas are in need of Research & Development efforts and technology transfer, which may be stimulated by the project.
These areas are of direct concern to the poor, especially in the South, either as a consumer (e.g., building applications) or as a producer, since considerable labor opportunities could be generated through the dissemination of handicrafts and SMEs, based on innovative industrial use of renewable material resources, or their use in fodder, composting or energy applications.
