E-MULT

Dynamic networks of Recycling SMEs
EU VI. Framework STREP Project

The recycling is an industrial area which urgently needs development and introduction of advanced ICT networking technology, keeping in mind that: (1) for recycling, being crucial in achieving a global sustainable development through saving growing amounts of primary materials, and in diminishing global pollution, an interregional networking is the only way to effectively assure sustainability, and (2) the requirements upon networking technology in recycling are exceptionally complex.
The networking of recycling SMEs on transregional and transnational basis, especially between SMEs in new and old Europe is, more than in any other domain, a 'conditio sine qua non'. E-Mult intends to develop a set of advanced agentbased ICT solutions, to support establishment and operation of dynamic multiregional and transnational networks of car recycling SMEs, and an appropriate methodology.
