LIFE WEEELOOP is developing a system to recover materials from discarded kitchen hobs, aiming to reduce virgin raw material needs by up to 90%. Similarly, LIFE WOOD4PLASTIC converts wood residues into bio-based, compostable plastics for products like bags and food trays, expecting to avoid 59 tonnes of plastic waste during its 2024-2027 lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Other featured innovations target <strong>pollution <\/strong>and <strong>water management<\/strong>. LIFE ABATE is creating a compact system to cut volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from waste treatment plants, targeting 90-95% VOC removal rates by 2027 while reducing energy use and CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, LIFE WARRIOR has three innovations on the platform, including a low-energy process for reusing ultrafiltration membranes and a cost-effective approach to treating reclaimed water for agricultural irrigation.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond platform visibility, selected innovators can access<strong> further opportunities<\/strong>, including showcasing at dedicated events and competing for the annual <strong>Innovation Radar Prize<\/strong>, where finalists pitch to investors and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 3 September 2026, the European Commission&#8217;s&nbsp;announced on their Innovation Radar platform a structured overview of nearly 300 LIFE-funded innovation (\u201cPlatform\u201c).
