PLASTICE: operational results

The European PLASTICE project, funded by the Horizon Europe program, aims to overcome several major technological barriers to plastics recycling by combining digital traceability, advanced recycling processes, and decision-making tools for the circular economy.
 
The project focused on two key areas:
  • improving the traceability and transparency of plastic waste flows through a digital infrastructure incorporating blockchain technologies;
  • optimizing the sorting, recycling, and recovery of plastics, in particular through Industry 4.0 and chemical recycling approaches.

AI REDGIO 5.0: artificial intelligence for industrial performance

The experiments conducted as part of AI REDGIO 5.0 provided concrete examples of the benefits of artificial intelligence in industrial settings and enabled POLYMERIS to support two of its members in their industry of the future projects.

In this context, Pernoud, based in Groissiat in the Ain region of France, conducted a use case applied to the design and manufacture of industrial molds, demonstrating the value of artificial intelligence for optimizing production planning in highly variable contexts. This experiment, based on automated analysis of data from 3D design files and machine learning algorithms, improved production sequence forecasting, operational visibility, and decision-making thanks to Edge AI architectures integrated as close as possible to the field.

GAIO : A collective response to OEM carbon requirements with Polymeris and elanova

Faced with growing demands from automotive manufacturers (OEMs) to reduce their carbon footprint, the plastics industry must accelerate its transformation. To support this transition, Polymeris has joined the new GAIO consortium as a founding member, alongside Elanova and Physis Solutions.
The goal is to develop a collective, structured, and operational response to help manufacturers measure, manage, and reduce their carbon impact.
 
Why create a consortium? A response to OEM carbon obligations
 
OEMs now require their suppliers to provide reliable environmental data, particularly the carbon value of parts and materials.
For many manufacturers, this data is complex to produce due to a lack of harmonized methodologies and appropriate tools.
 
GAIO provides a shared response, designed by and for the automotive plastics industry:

Cap FilMI 2 Brique 1

The Cap FilMI 2 Brique 1 project is part of an ambitious initiative aimed at structuring and developing the miscanthus industry along the Seine corridor. Certified by three competitiveness clusters, including Polymeris, Next Move, and Cosmetic Valley, this project is a key step in establishing this industry in the region for the long term. Addiplast, a member of Polymeris, is also a partner in this innovative project, reinforcing its commitment to developing sustainable and bio-based solutions.
 
Project objectives
 
Cap FilMI 2 Brique 1 aims to regionalize the activities of the miscanthus industry, from upstream to downstream, in a pilot region: the Rouen Seine Eure metropolitan area.  Building on previous successes, such as the Alkern Miscanthus Block and the Renault Dashboard, the project aims to:
