Innovation – Open Calls

The first POLREC open call is now open!

This Innovation open call aims to support SMEs by funding their polymer recycling projects. It is divided into three sub-topics that will support:

  • Test of solutions for chemical recycling of polymer waste (plastics, rubber, composites), with a maximum budget of €30,000 per SME.
  • Testing solutions for mechanical recycling of polymer waste (plastics, rubber, composites), with a maximum budget of €30,000 per SME.
  • Digitalisation of polymer waste recycling processes to ensure traceability and control, with a maximum budget of €20,000 per SME.

Successful SMEs will be awarded a budget based on the quote from their service provider. This budget will be used exclusively to pay for the services provided as part of the project carried out by the SME.

European SMEs can apply until 31 October on:

the Cluster Submission Platform

Applicants must log in or create an account to access the application form for the POLREC open call.
