BHET monomer production based on PET packages

The purpose is to prepare the establishment of an industrial plant for the production of the monomer and the chemical bishydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) which uses PET plastic from sorted packaging as a raw material. PET from so…

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 incinerated. This project has investiga…

How to navigate the EU's new plastic regulations

If you design, manufacture or sell plastic products, there are several EU regulations that you must comply with in order to promote the use of circular plastics. SUPD, PPWR, WEEE – to name a few. "There's no need to be afraid of t…

How do I best recycle?

There are many decisions to be made when it comes to recycling – such as whether materials should be recycled mechanically or chemically. Mattias Andersson, researcher at RISE's unit for materials, processing and recycling, e…

Material recycling of packaging

Almost all products are packaged, creating significant material volumes that circulate relatively quickly. In the transition to a circular society, packaging has become a subject to new requirements, most notably the new packaging…

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 circul…

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…

Chemical recycling of plastics

Chemical recycling complements the mechanical recycling of plastics, textiles and glass/carbon fiber composites. Through chemical recycling mixed, aged and End-of-Life plastic streams may be recycled. This enables our already used…

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…

Substitution of hazardous chemicals

Non-toxic and circular cycles are a focus area in Sweden’s circular economy strategy. Hazardous chemicals in products and processes need to be replaced in order to protect human health and our environment. RISE has expertise in ev…

Network for plastic recycling

The Network for plastic recycling is a platform for knowledge dissemination and collaboration, a meeting place where industry, academia and authorities meet, exchange experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities.

Test bed for recycling of plastics

The use of plastics need to be more sustainable, and more plastic need to be recycled back into new products in a resource-efficient way. RISE Testbed for recycling of plastics is an arena and test facility for plastic recycling t…
