The European Commission has approved funding of €40m (£34m) for 14 new research projects to improve resource efficiency in the EU economy.
The projects include reusing discarded automobile tyres, recovering key elements from batteries, producing green fertiliser from animal waste and generating renewable clean energy from food and plant waste.
They will involve the collaboration of more than 140 partners from research organisations and private companies.
The commitment is included in the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development and will involve partners from 19 European countries.
The projects will be kicked off at events in Brussels on Tuesday and Wednesday when the project co-ordinators will meet the European Commission to set the priorities and co-ordinate the work ahead.
