Sustainable Innovation
Sustainable alternatives for a competitive industry
Carnot MICA supports companies in identifying high-performance alternatives and pursuing sustainable innovation. Through bio-based materials, recycled materials or eco-friendly processes, we help industrial players reduce their carbon footprint, comply with regulations and anticipate market expectations. These solutions enhance your competitiveness while contributing to a successful ecological transition.
Catalysis and green chemistry processes
Our experts develop innovative catalysis solutions and implement green chemistry processes: photopolymerization, solvent-free methods, and approaches inspired by soil agroecology. These strategies enable the creation of environmentally friendly materials and processes while ensuring industrial performance and efficiency.
Eco-design and life cycle analysis
Carnot MICA offers comprehensive eco-design methodologies, life cycle analysis (LCA) and carbon footprint assessments. These tools help companies identify actionable ways to reduce environmental impact while creating societal value. We also incorporate regulatory considerations and technological monitoring to anticipate market developments.
Recycled materials and co-product valorization for sustainable innovation
We design recycled materials and advanced recycling processes tailored to industrial needs. Our teams also work on valorizing co-products, by-products and waste, turning constraints into opportunities. These solutions align with a circular economy approach and contribute to overall production chain efficiency.
PFAS: detection, remediation and alternatives
Carnot MICA is committed to tackling PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with recognized environmental and health impacts. We develop advanced solutions for their detection, remediation and the design of sustainable alternatives. This work allows companies to anticipate regulations and secure their products.
Biological valorization processes
Leveraging biotechnologies, our teams design biological valorization processes capable of transforming organic waste, co-products or renewable raw materials into innovative materials. These approaches lead to solutions that are high-performing, sustainable, and aligned with carbon neutrality goals.

FAQ
We are here to answer your questions
Sustainable innovation means integrating processes, materials and solutions that are environmentally responsible while remaining competitive. For us, it combines methodologies like eco-design to support informed decisions, with the development of low-impact materials and processes.
We offer a wide range of green chemistry processes. Our strong expertise includes catalysis and photopolymerization (notably to reduce energy consumption), solvent-free processes (particularly for the textile industry) and approaches inspired by soil agroecology.
Yes, we develop both recycled materials and recycling processes, as well as tools for valorizing co-products.
Our approach to PFAS is threefold: our expert teams work on detection techniques to identify and quantify their presence if necessary, on remediation to eliminate them from contaminated environments, and on the development of sustainable alternatives to their use.
A multi-sector offering
Carnot MICA operates at the heart of 8 strategic sectors. By working alongside companies, we understand their specific sustainable innovation challenges and develop solutions adapted to their needs. Our close connection with each sector allows us to support innovation where it creates the most value.
