Materials Library

The materials library serves as a repository of developed and existing sustainable resources, waste, and materials, providing a detailed description of their characteristics and potential applications.

This repository will help promote the circular economy and industrial symbiosis in the Euroregion of Galicia and Northern Portugal.
