The project
INNPAPER is a pioneering project in the printed electronics field, that is designing a configurable and recyclable electronic platform based on paper. The project aims to foster the industrial application of paper-based electronics, contributing to reduce the e-waste. To prove the versatility of this technology, INNPAPER will develop three use-cases, oriented towards the food, security and medical sectors.
Some INNPAPER milestones for the next three and a half years are:
