The INCIRCULAR cascade-funded projects have successfully concluded

The INCIRCULAR cascade funding scheme officially concluded in February 2026, marking the completion of a 12-month implementation period for the third-party projects. Through this action, INCIRCULAR provided targeted funding to enable SMEs in Spain, Slovenia and France to develop and demonstrate solutions that help accelerate the transition towards more circular plastics value chains. These solutions range from improved identification and sorting to more efficient processing and digital optimisation in manufacturing. The funded projects delivered a variety of practical innovations, such as AI-enabled plastic identification and sorting, sensor-based classification (e.g. NIR/multispectral), IoT and machine learning for monitoring injection moulding processes, and improved wear-resistant knife technologies for enhanced shredding performance.

PRISMA Project

The PRISMA project: enhancing extrusion through online analysis for industrial processes

As part of the PRISMA project (Intelligent Processes: Simulation, Monitoring, Online Analysis), the Axel'One collaborative platform is committed to enhancing real-time analysis capabilities for industrial processes, particularly for extrusion and other material transformation operations. Winner of a call for proposals from the Investments for the Future Program (PIA), PRISMA has a budget of more than €2.7 million over three years to acquire and deploy mobile, connected online analysis tools tailored to the needs of industrial SMEs and the chemical, materials, and textile industries. Investments include pilot projects that replicate industrial conditions, such as a fully automated twin-screw extruder equipped for online analysis testing, as well as advanced chemical composition instruments (near-infrared spectrometry, gas standard generator) that enable continuous monitoring of critical material processing parameters.

PLASTICE: operational results

The European PLASTICE project, funded by the Horizon Europe program, aims to overcome several major technological barriers to plastics recycling by combining digital traceability, advanced recycling processes, and decision-making tools for the circular economy.
 
The project focused on two key areas:
  • improving the traceability and transparency of plastic waste flows through a digital infrastructure incorporating blockchain technologies;
  • optimizing the sorting, recycling, and recovery of plastics, in particular through Industry 4.0 and chemical recycling approaches.
