Discover the CIRCPLASTX European project

CIRCPLASTX (Circularity Data Space for the plastics industry) was launched on March 4 and 5 at IPC in Oyonnax. The project aims to create a data space for the plastics industry to promote circularity by sharing information across the value chain. In response to growing pressure to use more recycled materials and offer greater product transparency, this project seeks to facilitate traceability and connect different players (suppliers, recyclers, NGOs, regulatory bodies). It aims to help SMEs and other players by offering a secure, one-stop shop for exchanging data on products, materials and manufacturing processes. CIRCPLASTX will develop three main services: “Material as a service” for recycled plastics, data quality for substances and LCA data assessment. This project is essential for achieving the environmental objectives of the Green Deal and industrial digitization, contributing to competitiveness and innovation in the plastics sector.

POLREC exploratory mission to Quebec on polymer recycling

Polymeris organized a collective European mission to Quebec as part of the European POLREC project coordinated by the cluster. The aim of POLREC is to encourage the adoption of plastic waste recycling solutions by European SMEs to strengthen the EU's resilience, and to export European know-how to key partner countries. Canada, the world's 6th-largest plastics producer, and more specifically the province of Quebec, was identified by the project partners thanks to the strong relationships Polymeris had forged with Quebec niches (clusters) during previous projects and exploratory missions. Quebec is home to 70% of Canada's plastics companies, 31% of the rubber industry and 23% of the composites industry, and has repeatedly expressed interest in strengthening its collaboration with European partners, particularly French-speaking ones, and working to promote the sustainability of its industries.
