The second edition of the Arts et Métiers Convention Arts et Métiers Ecological Transition (CAMTE), organized by Arts et Métiers students, Arts et Métiers held on Friday, March 25.
An eco-friendly shower column to prevent water wastage, a bulk dispenser for products that currently generate packaging, a cargo bike service for shopping, AI-powered insect production monitoring, apple pomace transformed into packaging... these are just some of the 22 projects promoting decarbonization and ecological transition that competed for the Arts et Métiers Awards Arts et Métiers during CAMTE.
Organized by the school's students, the convention combined the Arts et Métiers Awards ceremony Arts et Métiers debates featuring leading figures from industry and the ecological transition (experts, manufacturers, journalists).
The jury was composed of representatives from CAMTE, prestigious universities, and companies partnering with the Convention.
The Arts et Métiers Call for Projects Arts et Métiers Awards, which recognized the work of second-year students from the eight campuses, invited them to consider concrete actions on the theme "How can I decarbonize my city?" based on three areas of focus: mobility, buildings, and industry.
The "Student Initiative" Award, open to Arts et Métiers students Arts et Métiers students from other higher education institutions, invited them to collaborate across different disciplines in order to promote projects with an approach that differs from that of an engineer.
Winners in the "Building" category: eco-friendly shower column
Every time you start a shower, it takes a while for the water to reach the right temperature. The Ecocolonne shower is a system designed to recover this water.
Tamaki JINKOJI, Thomas MASEGOZAT-POURPOINT, and Clémence TRIBHOU, Aix-en-Provence campus
Winners in the "Industry" category: all in bulk
To address the lack of diversity in bulk products, this project involves automating a dispenser for food products that have previously been sold in packaging, while also addressing issues of hygiene and shelf space.
Fanny CANOËN, Astrid de MONTS de SAVASSE, Martin PENGOV, and Clémence WALLON, Lille campus
Winners in the "Mobility" category: for carbon-free shopping trips
While cycling is becoming increasingly popular, French people continue to use their cars for weekly shopping trips. The sustainable mobility solution proposed by this project is to use cargo bikes, which combine flexible rental options with a large carrying capacity. To achieve this, the project designers drew on their analysis and development of cargo bikes for shopping in the Angers metropolitan area.

Winners of the "Student Initiative" Award: INSECTA
The INSECTA project's sensors use artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor insect production and control contamination risks.

Jury's Favorite Winner: valorization of apple pomace
As part of a positive approach to the environment and society at the regional level, this project meets several objectives: sustainable innovation by promoting apple pomace through the creation of gift box packaging made entirely from agricultural by-products.
