Le projet ambitionne de développer des films biopolymères pour la sacherie, notamment la collecte de la FFOM (Fraction Fermentescible des Ordures Ménagères), et des emballages alimentaires, et par extension, des films de paillage, avec des propriétés de fin de vie conformes à une valorisation organique aérobie (compostage industriel, à domicile, ou en sol) et également anaérobie (méthanisation).

Textile materials have two essential characteristics: one is technical, resulting from the choice of fibers and their assembly into fabrics, the second is aesthetic, linked to the material and its finishing. The value of a textile object is associated with both technical and aesthetics, it is linked to actual wear and tear completed with the attachment of the consumer. The end of life of these textiles can occur because they are worn and damaged or because they are not liked anymore or considered outdated.

The GreeenLocal3D project focuses on models and experiments to facilitate the short circuit recycling of post-consumer plastic waste to be recovered and enhanced by additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In a new "distributed recycling" paradigm, this process must be accomplished by affordable and flexible technologies that cover a limited geographical area to form the basic unit of a "smart recycling network". More specifically, the objective is to study the possibility through AM to revalorize previously unsorted and/or unrecycled types of plastics.

L’ambition du projet Advanced Batch Control for Industry (ABC4I) est de développer une chaîne numérique complète, de l’analyse en ligne sur les procédés à leur pilotage en passant par les algorithmes de prédiction et d’optimisation. 
Cette chaîne numérique sera expérimentée sur deux procédés industriels : un procédé de synthèse de la vitamine A et un procédé de polymérisation des silicones. 

Several issues have been identified concerning the recycling of plastics during the analysis of the state of the art. Firstly, the presence of contaminants and the disassembly of complex structures appear as major issue and limit the development of mechanical recycling of plastics. On the other hand, tertiary recycling or chemical recycling is in its infancy and fundamental knowledge in this field is still needed to allow its spreading at different scales.

The COCHISE project consists in designing, modeling and characterizing new connectors for very high speed Ethernet applications (> 10 Gbits/s). This work is part of the problematic of the transfer and processing of ever larger computer data, known as "big-data". It requires infrastructures and equipments always more powerful. The end equipment (computers, servers, routers) have been the subject of extraordinary improvements in recent decades (speed, memory, etc.).

Agricultural losses due to insect pests amount to approximately 250 billion euros worldwide [l]. To date, crop protection relies almost exclusively on chemical treatments responsible for significant environmental damage, the emergence of resistance in certain insect pests [2] and residues that can potentially prove dangerous to human health [3]. Societal and health concerns create the need to find new ecological solutions.

The integration of more and more recycled plastic materials (RPM) is a clearly identified objective by regional, national and European circular economy roadmaps. In addition, the anti-waste law (AGEC), which bans single-use plastics, aims for 100% recycling of used plastics by 2025.

The Moderato project aims at designing novel families of chemically modified polysaccharides, to be used as bio-based functional coatings in order to impart paper materials with barrier properties, which will be enhanced and maintained upon changes of relative humidity and temperature, for end-uses in the flexible food packaging field.  The novelty is to exploit the appealing Passerini-three component reaction (P-3CR), and to apply it to both polysaccharide chains (carboxymethyl cellulose, alginic acid) and cellulose particles (oxidized cellulose microfibr

With a worldwide production of nearly 380 million tons per year, polymer materials play a central role in our modern society. They are used in the manufacture of innumerable daily-life products, or as more sophisticated compounds in medicine, diagnostics, and fine chemistry. However, economical and new societal constraints require a more rational design and alternative synthesis, formulation and processing methods for polymer manufacturing to meet the need for greater sustainability, more virtuous end-of-life management, while maintaining optimal performances in application.
