is a consequence of the above. It is a collaborative technological platform for Walloon R&D operators at the service of business innovation meant to encourage the development of a circular economy for the plastics industry.
Through the development of the PEPIT platform, the GreenWin cluster played a mobilising role in its regional ecosystem around the plastics issue. This need had been identified after an assessment undertaken in the context of the cluster’s activities within WALOSCRAP II.
The cluster therefore decided to develop a collaborative technological platform based on the competence of the certified Walloon research centres (Centres de Recherche Agréés wallons (CRA)), who supported the innovation. In July 2018 the initiative was strengthened through collaboration with the MecaTech and Plastiwin clusters, with the aim of adding expertise to the platform in the areas of prospecting, upgrading and access to markets, and with a view to developing a portfolio of projects.
To date, the following CRAs have joined the initiative :
CELABOR, CENAERO, CENTEXBEL, CERTECH, CTP, MATERIA NOVA and SIRRIS.
PEPIT aims to provide companies with a complete innovation support service in order to achieve the integration of the plastics industry into the circular economy. Companies will then be able to benefit from an integrated service (strategic monitoring, project structuring, process diagnostics) and be supported by experts, enabling them to develop competitive advantages and rapidly position themselves in up-and-coming markets.
