RE-MED: guide opérationnel - valorisation DC&D en technique routière
The RE-MED project aims to transfer and experiment enabling technologies that allow construction and demolition waste (CDW) to be transformed into resources for the construction and maintenance of roads.
The purpose of this guide is to provide operational specifications concerning the environmental acceptability of alternative materials made from some CDW in road construction. The document specifies the framework within which they must be manufactured and the restrictions on their use and application and it sets out the obligations of the various parties involved in a road project, with a view to ensuring that a record is kept of worksites where CDW has been used.
This application guide is primarily intended for:
- Owners and contractors of construction and public works sites, to enable them to ensure optimum management of their waste;
- Owners and contractors wishing to use alternative materials made from CDW in road construction;
- manufacturing and application companies, so that they can offer materials made from CDW offering controlled environmental guarantees.

FFN-ii: Training on Location Aware System (LAS) Advances
The training meeting on Location Aware System (LAS) advances took place in Mabrouka Society in Khlidia-Ben Arous, Tunisia on May 18, 2023. The last day of the project's 3rd consortium meeting took place in Tunisia, by the Olive Tree Institute and the Regional Research Centre on Horticulture and Organic Agriculture (CRRHAB), and within the framework of the FruitFlyNet-ii project. Participants in the training meeting were the partners’ personnel and the hosting partner was the CCRHAB research team.
Eleven e-traps baited with Ceratitis capitata male attractant were set up gradually, along with conventional delta ones in the peach experimental sites belonging to Mabrouka society in Khlidia-Ben Arous. Tests on the transmission of data from the field to the server have been carried out successfully but with some failures. The research team will continue working to improve the quality of the devices.
FFN-ii: Training in OliveFlyNet
The Training Meeting in OliveFlyNet took place in Athens, Greece on the 15th - 17th June 2022 within the framework of the FruitFlyNet-ii project. This was an in-person meeting, preceded by a one-day online meeting, organized by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and held on 24th February 2022. Participated to the meeting the technical teams of partners UCO UNIMOL, LARI, and IO.
The meeting was carried at the premises of the Agricultural University of Athens (organizing partner). The main objective was to provide a detailed technical description of the OliveFlyNet prototype, for both the e-trap and e-services, including practical training and field demonstration in the experimental site of AUA located in Koropi, Athens, Greece. The 3 days meeting was organized in 5 sessions: session A on OliveFly e-trap prototype, session B on OliveFlyNet Monitor Module; session C on OliveFlyNet Mobile GIS Module, session D on OliveFlyNet assisted e-services, and finally, in the last day session E on In-field demonstration.
FFN-ii: Project Demonstrations
FrutFlyNet-ii project deployed, optimized, operated, and demonstrated the two Location Aware (LA) prototypes, namely the OliveFlyNet for Olive fruit fly and the MedFlyNet for Mediterranean fruit fly, in the 8 wide-area sites (Olive: AUA, UCO, UNIMOL, LARI, IO, Peaches: UNIMOL, CRRHAB, Citrus: AUA. One of the most important task of the project was to perform a number of demonstration events (on average two demos per site). These were as follows: 3 demos were realized by AUA (Greece), 2 by UCO, (Spain), 2 by UNIMOL (Italy), 5 by LARI (Lebanon), 2 by IO (Tunisia) and 1 by CRRHAB (Tunisia). Noteworthy, that some of the demos of the partners AUA, LARI and IO were closely related with the Living Labs activities on e-trap innovations (LL1) and on e-services advances (LL2). Skill development evaluations via training during each demonstration were provided. Presentations, issues faced, suggestions collected from the stakeholders’ feedback, questionnaires, instruction guides, participants' lists, were also performed. Questionnaires' results about the suitability of LAS and its products obtained from the farmers/producers who were participated in the activities and used the system provided a fine Source of Verification (SoV) for the project outputs acceptability. Questioners, distributed at the end of the lifespan of the project reported positive, negative, neutral opinions, criticism, and possible adaptations. However, their feedback is generally more than encouraging.
