The Processes and Recycling division focuses mainly on aspects related to the exploitation of renewable resources (both energy and materials), as well as the minimization, reuse and recycling of waste in the search for sustainability and environmental well-being. The research areas are:
- Energy and environment
- Hydrogen technologies
- Recycling and recovery of waste
- Food packaging, quality and safety
- Agri-food technologies
