Today, the polymer industry is operating in a context where optimizing its environmental footprint has become a major challenge, and where the management of Earth’s available resources must be reimagined in a more sustainable way.
In the face of these challenges, we have chosen to take action by guiding manufacturers toward a circular model and developing innovative solutions that balance performance, sustainability, and responsibility.
The Industrial Chair for the Transition to a Collaborative Circular Economy (ITECC), which stands for Chaire Industrielle pour la Transition vers une Économie Circulaire Collaborative in French, addresses the needs of industrial sectors and member companies by drawing on resources provided by academic and institutional partners at the regional, national, and international levels.
It serves as a training ground for the entrepreneurs of tomorrow, drawing on expertise in materials and the management and creation of businesses that have a positive impact through new circular economy models. The goal is to support organizations seeking to develop models with a positive impact, functioning as an incubator.
