Abstract

The utilization of biodegradable materials in industrial procedures represents a strategic priority within the Basque Regional Specialization Strategies RIS3. This article presents the feasibility study in industrial processes of a sustainable material based on collagen, which is renewable, ecological and has a carbon footprint of practically zero. The material, called EKOMAT, patented by the company EKOLBER, has been tested at the CIFP MIguel Altuna centre in Bergara, Basque Country-Spain to check its applicability in 2 industrial processes. It is noteworthy that this project is part of the applied innovation activities carried out by teachers at the centre.
