AlgiFoam: the story of a rising foam

Researchers from IMT Mines Alès have developed an innovative, ecological and biodegradable material: AlgiFoam. The production methods based on expanded biopolymer beads have brought it closer to meeting industrial requirements and offer greater shaping possibilities. This project is rapidly expanding and will soon give rise to a start-up. Here is a closer look at how this exploratory concept traveled from the lab to luxury display cases.

Technology for improving the recycling of plastics and composites

Plastics and composites aren’t recycled as often as we might wish, as a result of a lack of facilities, the right technologies not yet existing or not being profitable, or hazardous waste deposits. IMT Nord Europe have been working in partnership with manufacturers to develop and improve the available technologies. Plastics and composites get a lot […]
