The GreenChemForce project, launched on May 14, 2024, involves collaboration between various academic and industrial partners to advance sustainable management of plastics and CO2 reduction in the chemical industry. The project's structure is divided into three main work packages focusing on sustainable plastics, CO2 management, and streamlining fine chemical production processes. It aims to deliver strategic plans and pilot actions for a more sustainable chemical industry in Central Europe.

collaboration should
result into outputs,
which the companies
implement and use. This
leads to a territorial
change.
Type of outputs:
- strategy/action plan
- pilot actions  solution
