About
ICARUS aims to provide technological support to energy-intensive and construction industries for the transition to more sustainable and digital processes in a business model for successful market implementation.
ICARUS will upcycle waste material resources of most selected process industries to achieve circular and sustainable process industries overcoming their final application in construction sector. This project will accelerate the process industry uptake and contribute towards the developed education and skills activities and outcomes in this area as well as linking all value chain from industrial players recyclers, public authorities, and standardisation actors.

The environment
ICARUS’ increase of the use of secondary resources in the process industry will lead to a significant increase in resource efficiency across the value chain and subsequent reduction of CO2 emissions; reduction of waste sent to landfill will have an overall positive environmental impact.
Research & technology
ICARUS will prove the technical and economic feasibility of the use of secondary resources in the process industry leading to products with identical properties and performances as those produced using primary resources and allowing production without quality restriction, leading to technological innovation.
Circular economy
increase the level of circularity within the construction and process industries, which will have economic and environmental benefits. There would be new business opportunities and revenue flows for recycling companies – benefiting particularly SMEs – which dominate this sector of the market. On the large scale, ICARUS aims to make Europe the first digitally led circular, climate-neutral, and sustainable economy through the transformation of its mobility, energy, construction, and production systems.
