From smart energy management to clean technologies and bio-based materials, the metropolis supports the development of sustainable solutions for industry, local areas and the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Players in the water sector cover the entire value chain (BWI, Vortex.io, Cactile, CLS, Ilya, Hetwa, etc.): real-time monitoring of waterways, wastewater treatment and reuse, energy recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by a dynamic local ecosystem, these innovations significantly reduce water consumption, by up to 30% in certain urban and industrial uses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waste management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The waste management sector is developing innovative sorting, recovery and recycling solutions, ranging from flow optimisation to conversion into energy or materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by committed public and private players (Akanthas, ValoBat, Easytri, Corudo, Green Buro, etc.), these technologies reduce landfill and increase recovery rates, with tangible environmental and economic benefits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Circular economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse is accelerating the circular economy by mobilising businesses, researchers and local authorities around solutions to limit the use of resources (Zero Waste Toulouse, Evidence, Sobra, Opisto, Premi\u00e8re Brique, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Life Waste2Build project is a prime example: it aims to reuse materials from the construction industry on a large scale. This local dynamic is encouraging the emergence of virtuous sectors in construction, waste, agri-food and second-hand goods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sustainable and bio-based materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse supports the growth of sustainable and bio-based materials in many sectors: construction, aeronautics, health, agri-food and packaging (Pili, Cobratex, Bouyer Leroux, Edilians, Terreal, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant fibres, bioplastics, natural composites\u2026 These innovative materials reduce carbon footprints and promote the circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is home to an ecosystem of players engaged in the research, production and industrialisation of these solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Greening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse is stepping up its greening strategy to improve air quality, reduce heat islands and enhance urban biodiversity.<\/strong>
Parks, green roofs and facades, ecological corridors and planted walls are being integrated into new neighbourhoods and public projects (Demet’Air, Cactile, Eautours, Les Fermes Ionaka, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comprehensive approach also promotes natural rainwater management, shade for public spaces, and the well-being and health of residents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
