The 'Textile Team' met for the fourth time with project partners Politeknik STTT Bandung and Harapan Kurnia in Bandung. The aim of the meeting was to exchange the latest research results on innovative technologies for minimal application and ultrasonic applications in textile finishing.
On-site measurements to determine material and energy flows were carried out at two sites of the EnaTex project partners PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk (SriTex) and PT Harapan Kurnia. The aim of the EnaTex work was to comprehensively record all relevant input and output flows in order to determine the efficiency and thus the fuel efficiency of the combustion systems analysed at the production sites. - Image10.12.2024Resource efficiency and circular economy, Water management, Climate protection/ energy efficiency, Adaptation to climate change, Land management, Sustainable energy systems, Natural hazardsAt the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP 29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Institute for Biodiversity - Network e.V.
