tExtended – Knowledge based Blueprint for Extended Textile Circularity

The accumulation of textile waste is a global challenge that requires efficient recycling solutions, as it is estimated that less than 1% of textile waste is currently being recycled as a secondary textile raw material. tExtended …
Project

Sustainable vehicle interior solutions

The SVIS project takes a holistic approach to a more sustainable production of vehicle interior components and involves suppliers from all relevant areas. The project aims to create overall competence within the consortium around …
Project

Increasing the circularity of high barrier flexible plastic packaging

About 50% of consumer plastic packaging consists of film but only one third that is sorted out can today be materials recycled, while the rest, that includes multimaterial laminate films, is sent to incineration. This project will…
Story

Chemical PET recycling creates new products

Plastic becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, and on it goes. Using materials in a cycle is important for us to achieve the national environmental and climate goals and the global goals in the …
Expertise

Pretreatment and analysis

Recycling into high-value products require knowledge about your ingoing feedstock as well as the output products from your selected recycling process. We have the tools and the expertise to both obtain and make use of that knowled…
Expertise

Depolymerisation

At RISE you can validate your feedstock, solvent system or catalyst for depolymerisation. Recycling through depolymerisation enables a new lifecycle also for partly degraded or mixed materials.
Expertise

Circular design

Circular design aims at maximizing the durability, repairability, reusability and recyclability of a product. The quality of a recycled material is critically dependent on the quality of the  waste material used; hence circular va…
Expertise

SustFR

Flame retardant technologies are traditionally based on halogenated compounds or other hazardous substances. However, various sustainable alternatives have entered the market in recent years. Along with a smart design approach, th…
Expertise

Chemical and thermal plastics analysis

We have very good knowledge about chemical and physical properties of polymers and plastics. We perform material characterisation on plastics, fibers, coatings, adhesives and rubber materials byg DSC, TGA, FTIR and DMTA Failure a…
Expertise

Chemical recycling of plastics

Chemical recycling complements the mechanical recycling of plastics, textiles and glass/carbon fiber composites (GFRP, CFRP). Through chemical recycling can mixed, aged and End-of-Life plastic streams be recycled. This enables our…
Expertise

Plastic recycling

Plastic recycling contributes to circular material utilization and reduced oil dependence, prerequisites for a sustainable future and for Sweden to reach the goal of no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. Toda…
