Introducing ISLOPOL: Winner of CIRCULOOS Open Call 2
ISLOPOL is one of the standout winners of our second Open Call, which focused on real-world demonstrators in circular manufacturing. Based in Greece, ISLOPOL impressed the evaluation panel with its ambitious yet practical approach to turning plastic waste into high-quality raw materials. By leveraging R-strategies such as recycling and repurposing, ISLOPOL exemplifies how micro and […]
Introducing PLASMIX-Road: Winner of CIRCULOOS Open Call 2
LASMIX-Road (Plastic and Asphalt Synergies for MIXtures in low-carbon ROAD infrastructure) establishes a new circular value chain for sustainable asphalt production. The project focuses on the revalorisation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste generated by GENEPOL’s recycling process, which currently has no further use and is mostly landfilled or incinerated. Its objective is to transform this […]
Introducing ReCLAIM: Winner of CIRCULOOS Open Call 2
The ReCLAIM project brings together machine builders, upcyclers, and digital experts to tackle a core challenge in manufacturing: how to extend the life of industrial machines while reducing waste. Powered by the AIRSTRAT service—an AI-driven tool for predicting the Remaining Exploitable Life (REL) of components—ReCLAIM enables smarter decisions across reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling pathways. Backed […]
