The European project Bio-Uptake "Bio composites in smart plastic transformation processes to pave the way for the large-scale uptake of sustainable bio-based products” funded by Horizon Europe, has started on December 1^st, 2022.

Bio-based materials, due to their intrinsic nature, have demonstrated that they can be adequate candidates, with a performance good enough, to replace petroleum derivates´ in various application areas. However, due to differences in physical and thermochemical properties, a direct replacement of the current material with newly developed bio-based is often a mistake. To reach the full potential of bio-based materials, product eco-design is essential. The novel approach on which Bio-Uptake project relies is based on modularity or pre-fabrication: the development of high-tech bio-based intermediate formats.

Polymeris is a partner of the European Interreg Alpin Space project: Cradle Alp. Launched in November 2022 for a period of 3 years, this project aims to disseminate and raise awareness of the "Cradle to Cradle" (C2C) circular economy approach among economic and political actors in the Alpine region.

This year's K in Düsseldorf celebrated its 70th anniversary! With 3,037 exhibitors offering the widest range of innovations along the entire value chain, K 2022 offered a comprehensive overview of the industry. Exhibitors came from 60 countries, with strong participation from Europe, including Germany, Italy, Austria, Turkey, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France (110+ exhibitors), as well as from the USA.

Polymeris worked with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Business France and Polyvia to offer its members and partners visibility, innovation tours and networking opportunities to encourage meetings. In the run-up to the show, we raised awareness among our European and international partners in order to highlight our members supported by Polymeris at the show.
