Britská společnost hledá partnery pro rozvoj nových metod recyklace směsného plastového odpadu

Britská společnost hledá partnery pro podání společného projektu na rozvoj nových metod a obchodních modelů pro recyklaci směsného plastového odpadu.
A UK company seeks partners for an EU tender opportunity to develop new methods and business models for the recycling of mixed plastic waste.

The tender is in five parts, with the first three parts related to the analysis of material mass flows, current technologies and the emerging market. Partners are required to develop a pilot plastics recycling plant (the fourth part), and support the final part when findings are presented to the Commission.
Description:

The aim of the preparatory action will be to develop new recycling channels based on sustainable technologies and business models, to develop new technological solutions for the sorting and material recycling of mixed plastics waste, to optimise waste collection and to prepare the setting up of mixed plastics waste recycling facilities across Europe. It shall also aim at increasing the recycling of plastic waste in general which will increase the sustainable use of resources and help to address the lack of raw
materials in the EU.

Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements of the request

The recycling of plastics waste has increased substantially in recent years. However, whilst the recycling of 'pure' plastic waste streams (i.e. those made up mainly or predominantly of a single material) is rather well developed, there are still substantial problems to overcome as far as the recycling of mixed plastics is concerned, which are reflected in low recycling rates. At the same time, the use of mixed plastics is becoming more and more popular because of their superior use phase characteristics. In order to address these problems, this pilot project is aimed at increasing the recycling of mixed plastics waste (post production and in addition also post consumption – End of Life Vehicles and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). It is expected to develop techniques and procedures for decreasing the quantity of unrecycled plastics waste to a minimum and at opening new markets for recycled plastics while not jeopardising the current single material recycling streams (e.g. for PET bottles, PE films or PVC building materials).
