A Process to Engineer and Manufacture Medium to High Value 3D Products Using Mixed Polymer Recyclate (PRIME)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
...ny uses include construction, food preservation, healthcare, water distribution and sanitation. They are crucial in saving energy through their light weight and insulating properties. As a result the European polymer processing industry is of strategic importance to Europe. However, increasing feedstock prices seriously affect the competitiveness of EU plastic converters. Rising costs can no longe ...

Innovative sorting process plastIc recycling (INSPIRE4LIFE)
Start date: Jun 2, 2014, End date: May 31, 2017,
Background
Industrial plastic waste is a growing waste stream in the EU. This includes plastic pieces coming from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs), waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and furniture. However, this waste does not yet benefit from a proper recycling chain, largely due to the challenges of automating the sorting process.

Assessing the Potential of Plastic Recycling in the Construction and Demolition Activities. (APPRICOD)
Start date: Nov 28, 2003, End date: May 31, 2006,
Background
The total weight of C&D waste generated within the European Union (EU-15) is estimated at 180 million tonnes per year. Plastics have been used on construction sites since the 1940s and more intensively since the 1960s.
With a 20% share of plastics consumption in Europe in 2004, the construction sector is the third largest plastics user, after ...
