The proposal for the creation of the Centre for Research in Product Technology and Chemical Processes (Pro2TecS) arose in 2011 of the finding, by the member researchers, of a growing industrial interest in processes and products related to the processing industry (chemistry, biochemistry, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, building materials, etc.). Such products, usually multiphase and multicomponent, with certain characteristics that make it acceptable by the consumer, are characterized by their high added value and/or looking for the valorisation of by-products and waste and the use of raw materials or renewable resources, all through processes that minimize discharges, imply a saving energy and, as a whole, promote the development of clean and sustainable technologies.
