SALPAX is developing the project "Substitutive materials for forming, based on circular economy." This project aims to research and develop new natural leather replacement materials that are permitted for use in applications that require a three-dimensional composition of the material for the manufacturing of the product.

The NEW _ SHAPE project started in March 2021, in Cañada (Alicante), and will end in February 2023, with a budget of 555,246€ co-financed by CDTI and ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).

Salpax, S.L. has received aid co-financed by Ivace and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the SME R & amp; D PROJECTS (PIDI-CV) programme, file IMIDTA / 2022 / 10 under the Operational Programme of the Valencia Community 2021- 2027:

The objective consists of the the replacement of oil-derived materials by natural materials for various applications. In this context, the aim is to incorporate biopolymers into the recycled skin reductions that are currently treated by SALPAX, achieving new properties for various kinds of materials.

SALPAX, S.A. has received aid co-financed by Ivace and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the SME INNOVATION PROJECTS (INNOVACV), dossier IMINOA / 2022 / 24 under the Operational Programme of the Valencia Community 2021-2027:

Objective:

* To seek the improvement of the sustainability and life of recycled products from curved skin sanding, by incorporating preservatives and / or natural biocidal products that protect our products from the growth of bacteria and microorganisms that can promote the aging and degradation of the skin.

Outcome:

* Collection of materials for the footwear, binding, Moroccan and food sectors.

* At least one example of the application of the materials developed for each of the proposed sectors: pair of shoes with its template, bound book, belt or portfolio and individual tablecloth.

* Tests with the hyticult as efficacy.

Project budget: 50,338.50 € Grant granted: 22,652.32 €

SALPAX, S.A. has received aid co-financed by Ivace and the European Regional Development Fund (Feder) in the SME INNOVATION PROJECTS (INNOVACV), IMINOB / 2023 / 32 file under the Operational Programme of the Valencia Community 2021-2027:

Objective:

* Study and development of micronization techniques capable of processing the two types of waste generated and allowing the incorporation of this material, in the formulation and matrix base of our process, giving a material with the same color, appearance and texture as natural skin.

Results:

* New process in industrial conditions at SALPAX facilities.

* Obtaining materials with a high percentage of built-in waste, including their characterization and specification.

* New mixture drying cinemas.

Executive: SALPAX S.A. Investment: 134,204 €

Project description: The project aims to address the problems associated with the recovery of finished leather or leather waste, by means of biological digestion and subsequent mechanical processes, which will enable the generation of new materials with sufficient properties for their application in footwear, Moroccan, textile, etc., with guarantees and commercial value, and in parallel to address the redesign of the associated industrial manufacturing processes and traceability techniques that can be given a response to the challenges that the legislation and the market will impose in less than a decade (up to their full application and obligation).

Main objective: The main objective of the project is to respond to the recovery of finished skin waste.

Expected results to obtain:

• * A pilot plant scale process for waste recovery, which incorporates the technologies developed in the project.
• * Four types of reconstituted skin material for use in footwear and leather.
• * Two types of chemical sealants.
• * Six finishes by transfer, digital printing and solid coating of regenerated skin.
• * A model of shoes tested in real environment made with the skin regenerated and finished in the project.
• * A model of bag and belt tested in real environment made with the skin regenerated and finished in the project.
• * A system of tracers adapted to the industrial processes used in the recovery of the waste.

Investment: 167,755.00€ Grant: 134.204.00€

This aid line is regulated by Order ICT / 789 / 2021, as amended by Order ICT / 309 / 2022 laying down the regulatory bases, as well as the Order of 28 April 2022 calling for aid to be granted to innovation and sustainability plans in the manufacturing industry, IDI projects year 2022.

Objective:

• The implementation of the technology necessary for SALPAX to carry out the control of the transfer line that allows the automation and communication of data for the monitoring of the production parameters.

Results:

• Once the project has been implemented, Salpax will have a control on its transfer line with automation and data communication.
