A multidisciplinary team<\/h3>\r\n
An independent board of selected international experts from the most influential sectors – such as healthcare, architecture and public transport – will share knowledge, research and possible applications of copper, which will be based on scientific evidence deriving from international literature. The members will provide an authoritative and stimulating perspective to identify innovative and possible applications of antimicrobial copper.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\t\tAntimicrobial Copper\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t
Security and Sustainability<\/h3>\r\nOn average, copper has an 80% lower bacterial and viral load than equivalent objects made from other materials. Thanks to its unique structure, bacteria, fungi or viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, can be quickly eliminated.
\r\nThis precious metal retains all of its original properties during the recycling process, regardless of how often it has been recycled and used. It is estimated that around 80% of the copper extracted since ancient times is still in use today.\r\n\t\t\t\t![\"ragazze-bus-home\"](\"https:\/\/thecopperhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ragazze-bus-home.jpg\" "\\"ragazze-bus-home\\"")
