How We Transform Plastics

Environmental and Business Impacts of Recycling and Reusing Plastics

The environmental benefits of recycling and reusing plastics are clear – better use of resources and reduced carbon emissions. However, the business case can be complex. Our project organizes numerous Subprojects that are tightly integrated with more specific Focus Topics. This holistic approach ensures that the technical aspects deliver innovative, sustainable value to the business ecosystem and its stakeholders. The Multi-sided Platform as the overarching body of ZeroPol, connecting the different Subprojects, is intended to scale the innovations and new technologies developed for the entire Swiss plastics market.

Who is behind Zeropol

ZeroPol is the Flagship project “Towards a NetZero Plastics Industry”. It was approved by the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse and aims to revolutionize the plastics industry through systemic innovation and collaboration. Over the next four years, a team of five Swiss research institutions and 18 industry partners will work together to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency across all stages of the plastics lifecycle. By integrating digital technologies, novel materials, and innovative processes, the initiative seeks to create a greener, more sustainable plastics industry in Switzerland.
