RE:MIX III: Chemical recycling of synthetic textile blends

Each year the average Swedish citizen throws 7.5 kg of textile in the trash, textiles which are then incinerated. The value of 80 000 tons of textile is hence lost, every year. In the project Re:MIX III, RISE and COWI will develop…
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…

Halogen-free fire protection for ABS

The project Halogen-free flame retardants for ABS, HFFR ABS, aims to reduce the use of toxic and environmentally detrimental flame retardants in ABS products by systematic evaluation of the performance of affordable sustainable fl…
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…

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…
