Closing of the European POLREC project

The European POLREC project, launched on September 1, 2022, and coordinated by Polymeris, concluded on October 31, 2025, after three years dedicated to accelerating polymer recycling in Europe. Funded by the Euroclusters initiative, this program aimed to reduce the environmental impact of polymer products while strengthening the European Union's strategic autonomy in recycled raw materials.

The consortium brought together five European partners — Polymeris, CENTIMFE, MAV, WFG, and PCD — whose mission was to support SMEs in adopting mechanical and chemical recycling solutions and digital tracking. The project established a pan-European network, promoted the creation of new circular business models, and developed training tools to help industrial teams improve their skills.

Polymeris strengthens its European and International team

Polymeris strengthens its European and international positioning by structuring a new organization dedicated to advanced materials. Starting in October 2025, the division will coordinate the new Eurocluster Mat4EU, while consolidating its Europe & International team under the leadership of Roxane Girard. This dynamic is in line with the successes achieved since 2023, with more than €6 million in European funding and national recognition through the 2024 AFPC Europe Award.

A strategic position at the heart of Europe

For several years, Polymeris has established itself as a key player in Europe in the field of advanced materials, thanks to the coordination of structuring projects such as AMULET (Innosup-1, 2021), POLREC Eurocluster (2022), and EDIH Polytronics (2022), which alone represent more than €12 million in funding. This has led the cluster to become one of the players involved in the creation and structuring of IAM-I, the Advanced Materials 2030 initiative.

From October 1, 2025, Polymeris will further strengthen its leadership by coordinating the new Eurocluster Mat4EU, dedicated to advanced materials for a circular and sustainable industry and bringing together key partners in this field in Germany, Spain, Lithuania, Poland, and Denmark.
