Actemium Rheinland has proposed a solution to transform turf into wildflower meadows for insects.

At a large production facility like Arcelor Mittal Ghent, spare parts management is very costly. They have a large spare parts warehouse with a lot of different spare parts waiting to be used. Most of the time, complex tailor-made parts are used to replace the original part that is only slightly damaged.

Neste is a producer of renewable diesel for a sustainable future. Their facility in Sluiskil, Netherlands is used for the storage and pre-treatment of renewable raw materials, such as waste and residual streams which are oftentimes difficult to process. They are pre-treated there before being further refined.

HYPE, the world's first cab fleet made up entirely of hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, joined forces with other shareholders, to create HysetCo to accelerate the development of the recharging infrastructure required for hydrogen mobility in the Paris region. HysetCo approached France Ingénierie Process (FIP), part of the Actemium network, to be involved in this up-and-coming project.

Actemium Laxou, a French Business Unit that manufactures biomethane injection stations has introduced the idea of using recycled containers on their site. The containers are transformed and fitted out as shelters to inject biogas into the French networks. The initiative aims to recycle maritime containers, thus giving a second life to tons of steel.

The decade of deindustrialization (differing from countries according to policies) is rooted in competitiveness for the need to produce at lower costs in the context of increasing globalization. This is what has provoked industrial transfers to low-cost countries. This trend has been amplified by the need for "local production" in countries that until then were not quite industrialized.

Luleå Harbor, Sweden needed a mobile Onshore Power Supply (OPS) solution to eliminate emissions from docked ships. Those without OPS are powered using their own generators by fossil fuel which consumes up to 865kW per ship, leading to emissions.

Maintainers are often faced with obsolete equipment that is no longer manufactured. To fight against obsolescence, Actemium Adour Pyrénées manufactured a 3D printer, by using 80% of recycled materials, to create custom parts to replace broken pieces for industrial clients.

With the growing interest to reduce the consumption of resources, measurements must first be taken. Measuring devices such as flow meters are costly to install and require high maintenance which is why there is often only a main meter available. However, this means that the partial uses per installation are unknown, thus, cannot be optimized.

The aircraft manufacturers and maintainers possess many hydraulic jacks from different manufacturers. They are compounded with several hydraulic cylinders that must be checked periodically to detect any fluid leakage. To perform these check-ups, each manufacturer has its own specific device to test its jack.
