Il Progect GReen ENgineering solutions: a new LIFE for SEdiments And Shells 101114177 — LIFE22-ENV-IT-LIFE GREENLIFE4SEAS  is a courageous project that stems from the urgent need to find out sustainable solutions for two strong environmental concerns: the fate of 200 million of m3 of sediments, often contaminated, dredged in EU every year and the disposal of 490,000 tons/year of shells, as one of the most impacting EU aquaculture wastes.  GREENLIFE4SEAS will demonstrate the technical feasibility, full safety and commercial viability of breakthrough solutions for in-situ recovery and reuse of dredged sediments and shells, that will be used as secondary raw materials for the realisation of sustainable by-products by means of an optimised mixing technology.  

GREENLIFE4SEAS is carried out by a triple-helix model of Consortium, where synergy among research capitalisation, industrial symbiosis and governmental partners as primary stakeholders is the key to innovation and sustainable growth in a knowledge-based economy.  The project results will epitomise a concrete contribution to improve the EU environmental policy for waste management, circular blue economy and aquaculture.
