The target is to commercially exploit the research efforts of the researchers on the technology of photocatalytic degradation of toxic waste, a technology that is both effective and absolutely “environmental-friendly”.
According to the business plan there will be toxic waste treatment units established in the installations of NCSR “Demokritos”.
