FreeMe project

🚀 New FreeMe #Achievement! @FreeMeProjectEU's partner @CreativeNanoGR developed an alternative plastic surface treatment enabling metal #deposition without relying on conventional highly toxic etching methods. ⚗️ With strong #adhesion performance and successful application on complex PA12 parts, this approach opens new paths for #safer #metallization. 🔬✨ 👉 Check out the full achievement on the FreeMe website: freeme-project.eu/metallization-… #HorizonEu

📍FreeMe M45 Consortium Meeting – Live from Sevilla! 📅12–13 February The @FreeMeProjectEU's consortium gathered in #Sevilla for the M45 #meeting hosted by our partner @idener , marking a critical #milestone as the project approaches its final implementation phase. Two days filled with partner #updates 📊, #technical discussions 💬, and #coordination of the next steps as we move closer to the project’s completion 🚀 #HorizonEu

📰The 20th issue of @FreeMeProjectEU Pulse is out now! Catch up on the latest #news from the FreeMe and our #progress in developing Safe and Sustainable by Design (#SSbD) #technologies for metal surface coatings. 🌿✨ Stay informed on how FreeMe continues leading the shift towards #safer, #greener, and more #innovative coating solutions. 📖 Read the latest issue here 👉 linkedin.com/pulse/freeme-p… and subscribe to FreeMe Pulse to never miss an update! #HorizonEu

📌 Next UBU #achievement within @FreeMeProjectEU Following the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (#SSbD) framework, FreeMe partner UBU is evaluating the #safety and #sustainability of Plating on Plastics (#PoP) processes developed by @CreativeNanoGR , @polimi, and Gaser. The goal is to assess chemical risks, environmental #impacts, and improvement opportunities from the earliest stages of #innovation. 🌱 🔍 The #analysis shows that replacing Hexavalent Chromium-based etching solutions with safer alternatives can significantly reduce environmental and human toxicity impacts.🌿 👉 Read the full achievement on FreeMe’s website: freeme-project.eu/advances-in-th… #HorizonEU
