The objectives of the platform are:​

1. To provide networking and collaboration among research institutions and the industry.
2. To facilitate the access of the European plastics industry to EU research programs,
3. To communicate on new technologies and their relevance for the plastics converters and the composites industry.

Membership in ECP4 facilitates access of the European plastics industry to EU research programs, thus enabling SME’s to innovate, gain/enhance competitiveness and fulfil sustainable goals

ECP4 members have mobilized more than 230 projects supported by the European Commission, with an overall total budget of more than €400 million.This is the next step of the Bydgoszcz Industrial Cluster towards internationalization, which is one of the strategic goals of the Cluster.
