The SOLSTICE project, coordinated by Axel'One and in which Polymeris is a partner, was launched today. Its main objective is to demonstrate 4 replicable systemic solutions for the territorial development of a circular and carbon-neutral economy for the major textile sectors. All stages of waste prevention and management will be integrated into a methodology based on the 5Rs: Refuse / Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Repurpose, Recycle.

Polymeris took part in the European Cluster Conference 2024, held in Brussels on May 7 and 8. This biannual conference, organized by the European Commission, brings together key players from European clusters to discuss current and future priorities for cluster policies and sustainable European industrial development.

Composite materials account for 2% of the total mass of a wind turbine, and the aim of the European EoLO-HUBs project is to deploy large-scale technologies for recycling composites from end-of-life wind turbines.

The Spanish technology center AITIIP, coordinator of the project and drawing on its experience in the aeronautics sector, is working on the pre-treatment and preparation of composites prior to the recycling stage. To prepare these composites, the wind turbine blades must first be cut up and cleaned of the surface treatments they have undergone during manufacture.
