The results of the first call for projects launched as part of the European POLREC project coordinated by Polymeris are in: 25 SMEs have won, including 9 French ones, for a total budget of €660,000. The aim of this call for projects was to finance new, innovative polymer recycling processes, and it proved a resounding success, with 13 winning projects focusing on mechanical recycling, 8 on chemical recycling and 4 on digitalization.

As the year draws to a close, Polymeris celebrates a fruitful harvest with the confirmation of funding for several projects supported by the cluster. These funding agreement notifications are seen as welcome Christmas presents for the consortia partners involved. The varied and innovative projects cover a wide range of fields, from sustainable packaging and the recyclability of composites to the development of recycled raw materials and the use of hydrogen in light mobility. This series of initiatives testifies to Polymeris' ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability in the field of polymers.

INCIRCULAR - INtegrating Cybernated Innovation to Raise the scale of Circular Units Looping Allied Regions

The European project INCIRCULAR - INtegrating Cybernated Innovation to Raise the scale of Circular Units Looping Allied Regions - funded by Horizon Europe began on October 1, 2023 and will run for 3 years.

The INCIRCULAR project aims to unleash the innovation potential of European regions in the plastics circular economy, thanks in particular to a cascade funding system. Indeed, innovative solutions are needed to produce new types of environmentally-friendly plastics while offering technical properties and costs similar to those of petroleum-based plastics currently on the market.
