Some of Plasto’s R&D projects involve several of the organizations listed above. Examples include:
IntelliMould – to bring the injection molding production into the industrial production of the future in regards to Industry 4.0, digitization and sustainability.HyPa – create high-value products from environmentally friendly materials with low value (recycled plastics from waste from the marine industry, post-consumer and other sources qualified in the projects scope).
BioComp – develop biocomposite for components that are part of Alloc's SPL process.
POCOplast – provide new knowledge on circular economy (CE) approaches to enable sustainable value chain (VC) development around post-consumer plastics (PCP) from Norwegian aquaculture.
Wondrest – develop a circular business model that ensures that components and materials are included in several cycles of use, in line with circular economy. Project together with Wonderland.
SSD – develop technology for efficient production of large injection molded parts in thermoplastics.
LUMEN – industrialize innovative optical solutions for lighting.
