Plastic waste as a circular carbon feedstock for industry (Processes4Planet Partnership) (IA)

Last updated: 18.7.2025
Grant

This Horizon Europe Innovation Action focuses on transforming plastic and other unsorted waste into valuable industrial feedstocks like hydrocarbons, olefins, and hydrogen. The program aims to accelerate the twin green and digital transition in manufacturing and process industries by promoting circularity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and decreasing reliance on fossil-based raw materials. Projects will develop electrified processes, ensure high-quality material streams, and contribute to industrial decarbonization across Europe and internationally.
