MAteriali Compositi di POlimeri e FIbre Naturali, in co-operation with the University of Calabria (Chemistry and F.C Department – Mechanical, Energy and Managerial Engineering Departmentand) , ZLAB srl and Borrone srl, co-funded under POR Calabria 2007-2014, Sector 3 “Research, Teaching, University”. Project coordinated by Epsilon Italia. The main project aim is to enhance the broom as raw material for the production of insulating panels, both thermally and acoustically, to be used in building industry and boating. Epsilon Italia is responsible to develop new techniques that use satellite images for detecting spontaneous broom thickets. Visit project website: www.progettomacpofin.it.
