Mapping of European plastic waste streams and of European plastic recyclers |
| |
The POLREC project is a collaborative
project that focuses on sustainable development and recycling of high
and low value polymers as a contribution to the objectives of the
European Green Deal aiming at zero CO2 emissions in 2050 and to increase
the European strategic autonomy on raw materials for polymer
production.
During a project period of 3 years the consortium will explore how an
intensified cluster and business network collaboration across boarder
and across sectors can meet this challenge and exploit the international
business opportunities related to this topic.
To handle this challenge, the POLREC partners have drawn up the mapping
of European waste streams and Europeans plastic recyclers. This mapping
is to be seen as a support tool of the POLREC Innovation Open Call,
which can financially support SMEs with an ambition of decreasing the
environmental impact of their products. Their practices must be switched
from incineration and landfill of polymer waste towards polymer
recycling – mechanical as well as chemical. To improve processing of
recycled polymers, the open call will finance the implementation of
improved moulds and processing aids to support SMEs in switching their
practices.

POLREC Project Info Session |
| |
Under
the scope of the cascade-funding Innovation Open Call of the Project an
online session take place on the 14th of September. This info session
intended to present the cascade-funding opportunities focused on
promoting plastic waste recycling through the access to mechanical
recycling, chemical recycling, and digital tools, as well as training on
adopting innovative recycling methods, digital processes and specific
technical profiles related to polymer recycling.
In this online session we had 41 participants from all over Europe.
After the presentation of the Innovation cascade-funding Open Call the
participants add the chance to place their questions to the consortium
and get some more details.
The session was recorded, and the video is available here:

French Info session |
| |
Polymeris
organised on the 21st of September a virtual info-session in French to
present the POLREC cascade-funding Innovation Open Call to its ecosystem
of members, SMEs and recyclers from the plastics, rubbers and
composites industries. The webinar was hosted by Roxane Girard,
Polymeris’ inter-clustering and European project manager, and gathered
26 participants. Content of the open calls was presented, the
application procedure, the eligibility rules, the evaluation criteria
and the calendar for applying to the Open Calls. The presentation was
followed by a session of questions/answers with the audience. The
webinar was recorded and the replay was made available to Polymeris’
members by Wednesday 27, September on the dedicated workspace
(Replay-Visionner now Webinaires) on My Polymeris platform.

Portuguese info session |
| |
On
the 22nd of September CENTIMFE organized a national info session to
present the cascade-funding opportunities in the scope of the POLREC
project. The webinar was hosted by Tânia Mendes, CENTIMFE’s project
coordinator. The session gathered 13 participants who interacted with
the aim of clarifying all their questions regarding the funding
opportunities on promoting plastic waste recycling through the access to
mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and digital tools, as well as
training on adopting innovative recycling methods, digital processes
and specific technical profiles related to polymer recycling.
