RENEWABLE RAW MATERIALS

Bio-based polyamides from the paper and pulp industry

Duration: October 2012–October 2016.

Budget: €6.1 M, including €1.8 M in public funding.

Certified by: Axelera, co-certified by: Pôle Fibres.

Partners: 7 manufacturing companies (Solvay, lead, Schneider Electric, Fibres Excellence, Novasep, Clextral, Petzl, AD Majoris), 1 industrial technical center (CTP), 5 laboratories (Grenoble Institute of Technology-Pagora/LGP2, IRECELYON, IMP, ICBMS, ISA).

Project housed at Axel’One PMI.

Results

The research completed confirmed the viability of producing wood-sugar liquor and obtaining pure cellulose of good quality. The research also led to the development of potential processes for producing bio-based monomers. Finally, other potential uses of the materials in the furniture industry were identified.

Outlook

The project is expected to generate not only positive environmental impacts, but also major value-creating industrial impacts, including:

The development of new bio-based polyamides offering new levels of performance;

Access to an abundantly-available raw material and, therefore, a more secure supply;

A strategic positioning for the project partners on an emerging market driven by the transition from fossil-based carbon to biomass-based carbon;

The project partners will benefit from more environmentally-friendly products and France’s paper and pulp mills will align with a new business model based on recycling a byproduct for sale on a high- added-value market.

SUCCESS STORY: ECOATOlivier Choulet, CEO

An Axelera member since 2012, Ecoat is an SMB that specializes in the development and manufacturing of high-performance bio-based polymer resins for paints and varnishes.

In 2013, Ecoat came to Axelera for support with business development on the Chinese market and with raw-materials sourcing. Axelera’s China office manager provided shared services to three Axelera members, including Ecoat, to promote their know-how to major Chinese paint manufacturers. The campaign led to negotiations in 2015 between Ecoat and Chinese conglomerate Vanlead.In late 2016, the decision was made to set up a manufacturing joint

venture between Ecoat and Vanlead subsidiary Pearl River. The joint venture became official in March 2017.

The joint venture will give Ecoat inroads into the Chinese—and, more broadly—Korean and Southeast Asian markets, and position the company to open a plant in China and to sell its products under the Ecoat and Pearl River brand names.

2 new polyamides with a

bio-based C (carbon) rate of more than

50% and likely to meet

the high performance requirements of

the target markets were identified.

ECO-EFFICIENT FACTORIES

CHEMICALS AND MATERIALS FOR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES

Agglomeration and compaction processes for recycling

Duration: July 2013–June 2017.


Certified by: Axelera, co-certified by: Mont-Blanc Industries.

Partners: 1 large company (Kerneos - lead), 3 SMBs (Quadra, Medelpharm, Itasca), 2 laboratories (SPIN-Mines de St-Étienne, CEMTHI).

Objectives and challenges

The objective of the PARC project was to investigate and develop a new technology for compacting fine materials.The challenge was to agglomerate fine materials from manufacturing byproducts to produce materials that are robust and resistant to compression and erosion for use in hot and cold processes.

Results

■ An operational industrial-scale agglomeration demonstrator was developed, leveraging a technology that delivers compacted material of very good quality with high production yields,

■ Techniques for modelling the internal porosity of the agglomerates to predict outcomes,

A deeper understanding of the behavior, at hot and cold temperatures, of the aggregates produced.

Eco-designed silicone acrylates to bring new physical properties to sensitive materials

Duration: September 2013–February 2018.


Certified by: Axelera, co-certified by: Techtera.

Partners: 1 corporation (Bluestar Silicones, lead), 2 large companies (Granger Frères, Celliose), 1 SMB, 3 laboratories: IMP, LGCIE (Lyon University and INSA Lyon), LPIM (Haute-Alsace University).

Project housed at Axel’One PMI.


This project is focusing on using eco-designed silicone acrylates and eco-efficient (low-energy) processes to bring new surface properties to sensitive plastic-type materials (films, bottles), glass, and textiles.

Silicone acrylate polymers are used, after UV reticulation, to form anti-adhesive and water-resistant coatings, for

example, or to give surfaces enhanced sliding performance and brilliance. Today, these coatings present several major environmental challenges due to chrome catalyst residues generated during the synthesis of silicone acrylates and the use of photo-initiators suspected to be reprotoxic.

Results

■ Development of the raw materials:

• Industrial scale-up of silicone acrylate production process using new catalysts; synthesis at the pre-industrial scale

• Photo-initiators selected in lab conditions; synthesis at pre-industrial scale completed

■ Industrial applications:

• User validation of formulations in test production conditions. TRL 6; industrial-scale investigations started

• Recycling research on silicone-coated PE and PP films

■ Environmental study including end-of- l i fecycle management of the silicone acrylate polymers and the materials they are used to coat (for anti-adhesive films).

SUCCESS STORY: BGENE GENETICSMarie-Gabrielle Jouan, CEO

An Axelera member since 2015, Bgene Genetics is a startup specializing in synthetic biology, a field that encompasses all of the technologies required to produce molecules from microorganisms using renewable resources.

Since we joined the cluster in early 2015, Axelera has provided us with effective support with our development strategy. We are partners on the Axelera-certified BIOCATAROM (FUI 21) project, which focuses on the d e v e l o p m e n t o f b i o c a t a l y t i c production processes for aromatic compounds.And, again, with the cluster’s support, we won the Bpifrance Concours Mondial de l’Innovation in 2016 for our FERCELLY project on plant-based proteins and plant-based chemistry.

The project aims to develop a bacterial cellulose oxidation process to replace the current chemical processes for the formation of cellulose microfibrils.

And, last but not least, we received Axelera’s support raising capital. We secured the Innovative Cluster Company seal in 2015, which helped us to raise €360 K in 2016.

SUCCESS STORY: TECLISSéverine Besson-Thura, CEO

An Axelera member since 2009, TECLIS is an SMB specializing in the design, manufacture, and sale of measurement instruments to characterize dispersed systems like foams, emulsions, and powders.

The day-long meeting on liquid foams that we co-organized with Axelera and the Institut Louis Lumière provided an opportunity to better understand the physical phenomena inherent to liquid foams.

This theoretical knowledge is helpful in better understanding the behavior of and controlling the generation of foams during the formulation process.

The meeting also provided an overview of the many potential applications for the materials.

A number of manufacturers came to have their questions answered, which provided us with an opportunity to network and lay the groundwork for joint projects with certain participants. Scale-up, i.e. the transition from R&D in the lab to the actual industrial process, is a subject that comes up regularly that would be ideal for a future meeting, so stay tuned!

PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION

OF NATURAL AND URBAN AREAS



An Axelera member since 2014, Ecobatec is an innovative industrial startup that specializes in battery characterization and regeneration. The company was founded in 2012 by Seydina Diédhiou and Gilles Mounier, and rapidly laid the foundations for an innovative, environmentally-friendly project to collect, remanufacture, and sell used automotive batteries, giving them a second life.

During its first phase, the project, called “Battery Back,” received the INNOV’R 2013 seal and total financing of €200 K from French environmental and energy agency ADEME, nonprofit organization Jessica France, Bpifrance, and the Rhône-Alpes regional government. Ecobatec developed the BatTriBac®, professional-grade smart collection point terminal, a technology unlike anything else available worldwide. BatTriBac® can instantly identify, test, and sort batteries at the source. The solution ensures full traceability of the batteries collected and real-time tracking via a remote management platform. Eligible batteries are sent to a plant for remanufacturing, and then resold at lower prices than new batteries.

Axelera granted the Innovative Cluster Company, seal to Ecobatec in 2015. Today, the company is leveraging its technology portfolio to develop a comprehensive product and service lineup that covers the entire lead-battery value chain.

In 2016, Ecobatec entered the final phase of its industrial scale-up plan, setting up new subsidiaries and initiating the “Digital Act” project to develop digital tools to support the digital transformation of the remanufactured battery industry. The project, which received the INNOV’R 2016 seal, is financed by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional government and Bpifrance via an ERDF loan of €150 K.

The operation of fourteen collection points equipped with the BatTriBac® smart terminal and the sale of more than 5,000 remanufactured batteries generated revenue of €300 K in 2016. Today, 35 collection points are equipped with the BatTriBac® terminal, and the concept and business model have been proven effective. Ecobatec, which currently employs six people, is now poised to carve out a position on France’s €270 million replacement battery and €145 million recycling markets and is very optimistic about its short-term revenue growth and recruitment.

SUCCESS STORY: RYBMarc Palomares, VP Innovation

An Axelera member since 2014, RYB was founded in 1962 and, in a half-century, has become a leading manufacturer of extruded polyethylene piping and sheaths. In 2016 RYB manufactured 50,000 km of piping and sheaths, reported revenue of €65 million, and employed 180 people.

In early 2016 Axelera told us about the ORPLAST project, which focuses on recycling plastic materials. The project was initiated by the French Ministry of the Environment, Energy, and Maritime Affairs as part of the nation’s Energy Transition for Green Growth Act to provide financial support for R&D that will help the manufacturers of plastics and products containing plastics to integrate recycled plastics into their processes. We decided to submit a proposal and our project was one of 68 selected nationwide. We also took part in a breakfast meeting on integrating recycled plastics into manufactured products

organized in February 2016 by Axelera in partnership with Elastopôle, Plastipolis, 2ACR (a chemical- industry recycling nonprofit), and Allizé Plasturgie. The meeting gave us an opportunity to get the latest information on the plastics recycling value chain, recent industry events, and support programs for French environmental and energy agency ADEME-backed R&D projects. Some of the plastic raw materials we use today are recycled.

SUCCESS STORY: SUEZPascal Dauthuille, R&D Coordinator

Suez is one of the world’s key stakeholders in the circular economy for sustainable resource management and is one of Axelera’s founding members.

As early as 2005, Suez benefitted from Axelera’s support engineering and managing R&D projects focusing on micropollutants (heavy metals, pharmaceutical substances, organic substances, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors) in surface water, residual urban and industrial water, and polluted soils and sediments. These projects included AMPERES (priority and emerging micropollutant testing in waste and surface water), RHODANOS (shared comprehensive management of urban and industrial wastewater and catchments), and

PCBAXELERA (treatment of water, soil, and sediments contaminated by PCB and other pollutants). Serving as the lead on these projects gave Suez an opportunity to acquire new know-how that has enabled the company to offer micropollutant management as part of i ts dr inking water production, residual water treatment, and waste management activities and has positioned the company as a leader in the treatment of these micropollutants.

PROJECT FOCUS: BATTRIBAC® BY ECOBATEC

PROJECT FOCUS: COPACOV - INNOV’R (ADEME)

Design of a new sampling and analysis system to investigate VOC soil pollution

Duration: January 2016–June 2017.

Budget: €121 K, including €50 K in public funding.

Certified by: Axelera.

Partners: 2 SMBs (Envisol, lead, and Explorair).


Since the 1950s, volatile organic compound (petroleum hydrocarbons, organohalogens, etc.) pollution has increased. VOC pollution can be caused by a variety of activities (garages, dry cleaners, printers, surface treatment plants, etc.) and can result in major contamination at the local level. Managing sites contaminated by VOCs is complex due to the fact that VOCs are transmitted from the air inside buildings to the outside air, contributing significantly to a site’s environmental impacts.

This project focused on creating a new passive sensor that would enable optimal management of polluted sites and soils. The development work targeted a sensor compatible with most organic pollutants (CVOCs, BTEX, hydrocarbons) and different types of soils (from clay to sand).

Initial impacts

■ The first phase of the project focused on developing the passive sensor: the adsorbent was selected and a 3D structure was designed.

■ The next three phases, which included lab and field testing, were completed to identify and find solutions to any scientific and technological hurdles.

■ The final field-testing phase was conducted in part at the CRISALIDE center for research in sustainable development in Pont-de-Claix, near Grenoble.

Outlook ■ The project is expected to lead to more effective management of VOC-contaminated sites.

■ More accurate assessment of health risks thanks to more detailed data on the gas pollutant mix.

■ Better use of financial and organizational resources for polluted site and soil management professionals.

Passive measurement minimizes operator interventions for tasks like sample collection.

The passive sensor and tests will be released on the market and will target engineering firms and other polluted site management stakeholders.

EMPLOYER ALLIANCE for the chemical and environmental sectors

■ The employer alliance project was introduced and is run by clusters Axelera and Lyonbiopôle. It is co-financed by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional government and supported by regional chemical-industry federation UIC Rhône-Alpes and pharmaceutical-industry federation LEEM (Les Entreprises du Médicament).

■ Purpose: create an employer alliance or partner with an existing employer alliance to give members’ of both clusters access to support staff on a shared basis.

■ A needs assessment was conducted in 2014–2015; an additional two crucial steps were completed in 2016:

• Preliminary studies and interviews with stakeholders in existing employer alliances and expressions of interest from member companies of the two clusters.

• A feasibility study based on questionnaires and interviews with member companies.

AXELERA, ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE CIRCULAR VALUE MOOC

■ This innovative MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) covers the circular economy in several seasons, giving learners the foundations of this collaborative model so that they can play an active role in this new movement and integrate it into their business practices.

HANDBOOK for PHD dissertation supervisors

■ The project kicked off in 2014–2015 with a feasibility study (interviews and workshops). Development of the handbook began in 2015 and continued in 2016.

■ The Handbook for PhD Dissertation Supervisors will address three key points: • Determining organizational needs: needs analysis

(academic and/or industrial) and the supervisor’s management style and methods.

• Candidate selection: PhD candidate recruitment worksheet, interview tips.

• Supervising the dissertation: integrating the PhD candidate into the team, supporting the PhD candidate (progress on behavioral competencies), supporting a successful career plan, managing relationships.

Axelera’s working group on education/training and skills development pursued its work in 2016. At the same time, the cluster contributed to the Rhône-Alpes regional chemical and environmental industry

training plan and kicked of three major initiatives.

EXPLORAIR

An Axelera member since 2011, Explorair has taken part in a collaborative project backed by the French Single Interministerial Fund, and has been an active participant in many Axelera activities:

• The company exhibited at the Axelera group exhibit booth at Pollutec Paris 2011 and 2013.

• We have attended Axelera Thursday and Axelera Business Club meetings and technical presentations.

The networking and promotional opportunities Axelera has brought us have sped up our business development:

• Requests for specific know-how sent to Axelera were directed to Explorair, leading to new business relationships (15% additional revenue in 2016).

• Explorair has had opportunities to give presentation at Axelera Thursday meetings and technical presentations, leading directly to two contracts for very-high-added-value gas analysis services.

Our membership has helped us expand our network, promote our know-how, and form R&D and business partnerships. The cluster also gives us access to other networks. From intellectual property to legal advice, you get the kind of support that is crucial to the strategy of any innovative company.Karim Medimagh, CEO, EXPLORAIR
