Can we improve the way we sort and #recycle#plastics? ♻️
Through an innovative scalable sorting technology PICK-IT, #LIFEPlasPLUS will separate plastic from other heavyweight fractions that is amenable to further sorting, #recycling and #energyproduction. Find out more ⤵️
How are we making a change?🌍By using secondary #thermoplastics instead of virgin #material, the fast-growing 🚗 and electronic industries will:
🔻reduce energy⚡water💧, and resources
🔻cut gas #emissions🌱while reusing critical raw materials.
#circulareconomy#reduceC02#Waste
3-step approach for improving the recycling of #thermoplastics:
1️⃣Production of high purity thermoplastics
2️⃣ Automated multi-class sensor-based sorting and separation of Flame Retardant Plastics
3️⃣ Recycling of by-product Antimony through catalytic conversion and hydrometallurgy
On our way to 10 million tonnes of #recycledplastics in products by 2025! First results from #CircularPlasticsAlliance:
✅workplan on design-for-recycling
✅report on collected & sorted plastic waste
✅R&D agenda for circular plastics

#PlasticsStrategy
In #LIFEPlasPLUS we will be working with 2 end-of-life waste streams:
🔌Waste electronic & electrical equipment sector: 19M tons
🚗End-of-life vehicles produced: 29M tons
The 2 industries' usage accounted for 48M tons over total production of 438M tons plastic waste in 2017.
