Buoyed by the success of the first edition, which brought together over 200 participants in September 2019 at Michelin in Ladoux (63), MATERALIA, the Pôle Européen de la Céramique and POLYMERIS, have decided to join forces again to organize a second forum on a topical subject: Materials for tomorrow's energy and industry.

The main objective is to bring together industrial and academic players from the three ecosystems interested in technological innovation, and to explore the major challenges of multi-materials by identifying technological trends.

EoLO-HUBs, cofinancé par l'Union européenne à hauteur de près de 10 millions d'euros, permettra de récupérer les fibres de verre et de carbone des grandes structures thermodurcissables à la fin de leur vie « utile ».

Les 18 partenaires du projet EoLO-HUBs se sont réunis dans les locaux du centre technologique AITIIP, coordinateur du projet, pour donner le coup d'envoi de ce projet qui se déroulera sur 48 mois. Le consortium comprend des divisions de recherche d'entreprises industrielles de premier plan, comme le Centro Ricerche Fiat, Mitsubishi Chemical, Saint-Gobain Placo ou PLATA.

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.
