About the project
SPIRIT programme and ecosystem aim to drive the transformation of the plastics industry in Finland by means of three main activities: the replacement of conventional fossil fuel-based feedstocks with renewably sourced ones; the development of technologies and processes for the mechanical and chemical recycling of plastics; and the decarbonisation of production operations through electrification as well as the use of hydrogen and renewable energy sources..
Impact of the project:
At best, the project will lead to outgrowths on a business level that will be worth several millions of euro, industrial investments, significant impact on employment, growth in export earnings and tax revenue, and positive impact on the environment.
