Projects
In parallel to our core business in polymer manufacturing, at Derypol we actively participate in projects where our products have a positive impact on sustainability and the environment.
CESAM
Derypol is an active part of the CESAM project (Circular Economy and Sustainable solutions for Agrifood in the Mediterranean) which together with other partners from the European Regions of Occitania (FR), Catalonia (ES) and Balearic Islands (ES) propose solutions with a common objective for the agri-food sector: Circular Economy and Sustainability.
The project centers around four strategic themes related to the sustainable and circular agri-food economy:
- Treatment and recycling of industrial water / Concerted use of water.
- Packaging: Eco-conception/plastic book, new materials or circular solutions.
- Optimization of processes and circular processes: waste reduction.
- Valorization of co-products.
The CESAM project will allow the three regions, through innovative specialization, to make innovation in all its dimensions a priority, and go beyond strict innovation and regional scale with the aim of better positioning the Euroregion at the European level and improving response to global challenges.
The duration and total budget of the project are as follows:
- Project duration: September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2026
- Total project budget: €3,022,935.19 (EU co-financing: €2,116,053.07)
Derypol provides innovative solutions for industrial water treatment and recycling, as well as for sludge dewatering in agri-food industries thanks to our HIMOLOC flocculants.
Our exclusive HIMOLOC technology is based on polymers in aqueous dispersion with low residual acrylamide content that allow us to obtain sludge free of solvents, surfactants and mineral oils.
In this way, these sludges can be used in the agricultural field in a safe way, recovering nutrients and contributing to the circular economy.
