Launch of the CosmetoPack®II community

Anticipating the toxicological challenges of cosmetic packaging, right from the design stage

In a context of tighter regulations, increased vigilance regarding content/container interactions (CCI), and high consumer expectations in terms of safety, anticipating the toxicological risks associated with cosmetic packaging has become a strategic issue.

Led by POLYMERIS, CosmetoPack®II is part of this dynamic, offering a scientific, collaborative, and forward-looking approach. It has been recognized nationally as the winner of the Predictions Award at Comestic 360, highlighting its structuring role for the industry.

This year, CosmetoPack®II is taking a new step forward by opening a community.

PRISMA Project

The PRISMA project: enhancing extrusion through online analysis for industrial processes

As part of the PRISMA project (Intelligent Processes: Simulation, Monitoring, Online Analysis), the Axel'One collaborative platform is committed to enhancing real-time analysis capabilities for industrial processes, particularly for extrusion and other material transformation operations. Winner of a call for proposals from the Investments for the Future Program (PIA), PRISMA has a budget of more than €2.7 million over three years to acquire and deploy mobile, connected online analysis tools tailored to the needs of industrial SMEs and the chemical, materials, and textile industries. Investments include pilot projects that replicate industrial conditions, such as a fully automated twin-screw extruder equipped for online analysis testing, as well as advanced chemical composition instruments (near-infrared spectrometry, gas standard generator) that enable continuous monitoring of critical material processing parameters.

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.
