WP24 Sustainable Interiors, Knowledge and Opportunities

The objectives of the WP24 are to build the key factors to design sustainable interiors focused on modularity and circularity of materials and design considering the state of the art and the new opportunities for the railway sector. The work package will analyse the constraints and the new circular materials and ways of design to propose main aeras of development. The development phase will be done mainly in the WP25. WP24 must be considered as the step one of the studies and WP25 as the step of design and demonstration. The WP24 is organized as an innovative design program and will be based on a pre-competitive collaborative design approach focus on « modular and circular interiors». This WP will be based on three main phases: intense and critical knowledge mutualization, then conceptualization seminars and roadmap elaboration. The final TRL is TRL2-3: needs, ambitions and roadmap defined. During the WP, few mock-ups could be done but only to show technologies or evaluate finishing for example. The WP developments contribute to the reduction of Life Cycle Cost, CO2 emissions, Carbon footprint, as well as recyclability and weight saving ).
