Projektbeschreibung
Ein großer Schritt beim Recycling von Kunststoffteilen aus EEAG
Die Kunststoffteile in Elektro- und Elektronik-Altgeräten (EEAG) können große Mengen an gefährlichen Substanzen enthalten, zum Beispiel Blei, Quecksilber oder bestimmte Flammschutzmittel. Daher muss der Kunststoff aus einigen Elektro- und Elektronik-Altgeräten als gefährlicher Abfall behandelt werden. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt NONTOX wird sich mit zwei Abfallströmen beschäftigen: Altfahrzeugen sowie Bau- und Abbruchabfällen. Es wird Technologien entwickeln, die gefährliche Substanzen aus diesen beiden Abfallströmen entfernen. Das Projekt wird die thermochemische Umwandlung von Kunststoffen, die nicht anvisiert werden, und Nebenströmen untersuchen, um die Systemeffizienz zu erhöhen. Dazu soll das Spektrum der Endprodukte und -anwendungen ausgebaut werden.
Ziel
The overall objective of NONTOX is to increase the recycling rates of plastics waste containing hazardous substances by developing and optimising recycling processes to produce safe and high quality secondary plastic materials and by optimising the overall process economics by integration. Increasing recycling rates is crucial for the implementation of a circular economy as clearly stated in the EU Plastic Strategy. NONTOX focuses on the removal of hazardous and undesired substances from plastic waste taking into account the whole value chain: sorting and pre-treatment techniques, recycling technologies but also post-treatment techniques. Valorisation of by-products and removed substances is also considered to enhance potential applications. NONTOX will target material recovery of plastics originating from WEEE, ELV and C&DW streams containing hazardous additives or undesired compounds such as flame-retardants, stabilizers, fillers, etc. Main secondary plastic outputs will include for example, ABS, EPS, PS, HIPS, PE, PP. The market for these polymers is massive as together they represent about half of the EU demand for plastics and yet a significant portion of these valuable plastics is landfilled or incinerated. NONTOX will further develop two different technologies (Extruclean and CreaSolv®) to remove hazardous substances from aforementioned plastic waste streams, allowing for increased recycling rates. NONTOX will also improve knowledge and state of the art concerning pre-treatment and sorting of plastic waste containing hazardous substances. Thermochemical conversion of non-target plastics and side streams from the main recycling processes will be investigated to increase system efficiency by integration and widen the range of final products and applications. NONTOX is conceived by a multidisciplinary consortium including internationally renowned RTOs, universities, key industrial partners and recyclers as well as product design experts.
