Efficient recycling processes for plastic containing materials - CE-SPIRE-10-2018
iCAREPLAST
Full Title: Integrated Catalytic Recycling of Plastic Residues Into Added-Value Chemicals
Aim:

Approximately 70% of European plastic waste (18.5 mt/year) is not being recycled due to technical or economic reasons and are thus sent to landfill (27%) or incinerated (42%). This situation...

Concept:
iCAREPLAST solution will enforce circular economy by substantially increasing the amount of recycled plastics to produce commodity products that can be used for virgin-quality polymers production or...
