Impacts and Outcomes

SaP Innovations	Expected outcomes
High-performance conductive materials and inks made from recycled & bio-based sources	Targeting reduction of production costs by over 50% Development of inks with production cost reduction of up to 50% Development of biobased inks using nanoparticles with reduced resistivity
Digital printing methods for automated production of PE	Increased automation leading to high productivity potential, reducing the labor-investment ratio by 50% Reduction of overall material usage by 30% and of production time by 20%
Facile separation and reusability of mounted discrete components	Separation and reuse of over 90% mounted discrete components in new PE products
Recycling of critical raw materials	80% efficiency in the extraction of these materials from PE

The expected outcomes of SaP will contribute, in long-term, to the wider impacts:

The European strategic autonomy will be reinforced by reducing the dependency on raw materials and price fluctuations of imported materials.
SaP’s alternative inks, presenting 50% cost reduction and high performance, are expected not only to dominate the European market and restore its autonomy but also to reinforce the EU leadership in this sector.
Significant market share gain in the nanomaterials market by offering cost competitive nanoparticles production, based on recycled sources.
Advanced digital printing methods with a high level of automation that will result in a reduction of material usage, production cost, and time, providing a competitive advantage to the EU industry.
All key parts of a greener digital supply chain will be addressed by providing sustainable solutions throughout the manufacturing loop.
