Renovación de muebles y estrategias alternativas de eficiencia circular mediante enfoques creativosFRANCESCA seeks to develop innovative solutions that apply the principles of the circular economy to the entire life cycle of furniture, from the design stage, through its use (promoting maintenance, reuse and repair), to the end-of-life phase (promoting reconditioning, transformation for new uses, remanufacturing, redistribution and recycling). Overall, FRANCESCA aims to provide essential support to the European Union's furniture industry in its transition to a more circular and sustainable model.Project web
