Italian SME contributing sustainability and circular-economy expertise to H2020 projects on cement decarbonization, bio-based polymers, and plastic chemical recycling.
QUANTIS SRL is a Milan-based Italian SME that contributes specialized expertise to sustainability-driven industrial innovation projects. Based on their involvement pattern — appearing as a third party across three very different technical domains (cement CO2 capture, bio-based polymer production, and PMMA recycling) — they function as a cross-cutting specialist supporting consortia with environmental assessment, process evaluation, or sustainability-related services for circular economy and low-carbon manufacturing. Their role spans energy-intensive industries (cement), bio-based chemistry, and plastics recycling, always on the "green transition" side of the problem.
Consistent third-party role across CLEANKER (cement CO2 capture), BioCatPolymers (bio-based chemistry), and MMAtwo (plastic recycling) — all sustainability-driven initiatives.
Contributor to MMAtwo, focused on second-generation MMA recovery via thermal depolymerization of PMMA waste.
Partner in BioCatPolymers, addressing mevalonate, isoprene and bio-monomer production via hybrid bio-chemocatalytic routes.
Third party in CLEANKER, which pilots calcium looping for CO2 capture in clinker manufacturing.
In their earliest H2020 engagement (CLEANKER, starting 2017), they supported heavy industry decarbonization through calcium looping for cement CO2 capture. In 2018 their participation broadened sharply into materials circularity — joining BioCatPolymers (bio-monomers, fermentation, bio-polymers) and MMAtwo (PMMA depolymerization, plastic waste). The trajectory is a clear pivot from end-of-pipe CO2 capture toward upstream material substitution and chemical recycling.
They are moving toward circular materials and bio-based chemistry, making them a natural fit for partners working on plastics recycling, renewable feedstocks, or life-cycle sustainability evaluation.
They never lead — all three engagements are as a third party — but they plug into sizeable consortia, having touched 42 distinct partners across 15 countries in just three projects. This signals a specialist contributor model: brought in for a narrow, repeatable capability rather than to drive the research agenda. Expect them to deliver a defined work package rather than shape the overall science.
Despite only three projects, they have collaborated with 42 unique partners across 15 countries, indicating broad European reach for an SME of their size. No single country dominates, suggesting a pan-European service footprint rather than a local Italian network.
QUANTIS is unusual for an Italian SME in that their three projects span three distinct industrial transitions — cement decarbonization, bio-based polymers, and plastic chemical recycling — all via a third-party role. That pattern points to a horizontal, sustainability-oriented competence that travels across sectors rather than a single technical niche. For a consortium builder, this makes them a candidate partner when a project needs a flexible specialist who has already worked inside IA and RIA projects in multiple green-industry verticals.
