Indian pilot project at Danfoss blazes a trail out of e-waste  

The world is generating an exponentially increasing volume of electronic waste. One solution is to repair and resell products. And in this regard, Danfoss reports great success of a pilot project conducted in a corner of a factory in India. Taking the pilot to scale, however, is still a tough nut to crack.

Grundfos: How to make new product designs and technologies sustainable – with almost no data?

How do you discuss sustainability in the earliest design phases when you have hardly any data to go by? This is an important question, as 80 percent of the environmental impact of products stems from the very early design phases. In a MADE research project with Grundfos and DTU, PhD Giácomo Parolin is working to find the answer.

Cheaper and better production of radar antennas

In a MADE demonstration project together with the Danish Technological Institute, the Danish machine manufacturer Newtec has tested metal 3D printing on two exciting applications: a nozzle in stainless steel and a sorting roller in titanium. For Newtec, the experience from the project was surprising – it turned out that metal 3D printing is both cheaper and further developed than they expected. The experience has already proved useful in other parts of Newtec.
