Launch of the European ASTER project

Polymeris commits to the circular economy of mountain activities thanks to the European ASTER project
 
This project, co-financed by the Interreg Alpine Space program, is coordinated by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region and brings together 11 partners from 5 European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia), with the aim of tackling the environmental challenges associated with textile and plastic waste in Alpine regions.
 
ASTER, an essential project for sustainability and ecological transition in the Alps
 
At a time when France has just been chosen to host the 2030 Winter Olympics in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, major environmental concerns are emerging. In line with European objectives and those linked to the hosting of this major sporting event, it is essential to support players in accelerating innovation and improving the circularity of textile products intended for mountain activities.

Polymeris: a key player in the European cluster dynamic

Polymeris is proud to announce its distinction as winner of the AFPC European Poles in the “Success Story” category. This prize, awarded by the Association Française des Pôles de Compétitivité (AFPC), recognizes clusters capable of leading European-scale projects, and was presented to Polymeris in Strasbourg on September 25.
 
The aim of the award is to highlight the most impactful initiatives, thereby strengthening innovation, competitiveness and the influence of clusters across Europe. Polymeris was convincing thanks to its commitment and strategic positioning in Europe, particularly in the field of advanced materials.
 
A success story marked by strong European commitments
 
Polymeris has positioned itself as a benchmark in advanced materials thanks to its active participation in several major European projects. The Advanced Materials 2030 initiative, a pillar of the European Green Deal, is one of the key areas of our commitment. Polymeris has played a key role in networks and collaborative projects such as the ELCA (European Lightweight Cluster Alliance) network, the AMULET project (coordinated by Polymeris as part of Innosup-1 since 2021), as well as the Eurocluster POLREC project (since 2022) and the Polytronics EDIH corresponding to a cumulative amount of €12 million. These actions have enabled the cluster to establish solid collaborations and position itself as a benchmark player in innovation topics around advanced materials.

ECOLE: Pioneering Circular Economy in Alpine Industrial Parks

The ECOLE (Eco Industrial Park Network for the Alpine Regions Leveraging Smart and Circular Economy) project is committed to transforming industrial parks in the Alpine region into sustainable, resilient, and eco-friendly hubs, better prepared to face climate and economic crises. Co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Alpine Space programme, ECOLE was launched on the 1rst of November 2022.

In the three years of cooperation, ECOLE aims to integrate circular economy principles into industrial operations by adopting a systemic thinking community model, thereby enhancing resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact. This initiative brings together industries, public authorities, and universities to co-design and implement action plans for a greener future.

Under the coordination of Consorzio ZAI Interpota Quadrante Europa, the project gathers 12 partners from 5 different countries from the Alpine Space Regions around a common ambition: accelerating the transition to a circular and resource-efficient industry in the Alps.
