| Pilot plant for the CreaSolv® Process |
After the CreaSolv® Process demonstrated its suitability for the recycling of various plastics in earlier projects, in September 2010 the “Poly-Ressource” Project was started in line with the “SME-innovative” program of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). This joint research project is aimed at the collection and processing of contaminated waste plastics from shredder residues from the processing of waste electro(nic) equipment and end-of-live cars in Europe, and the production of recycled plastics that comply with legislation in a pilot plant for the CreaSolv® Process with an annual capacity of 500 tons, that will be built by August 2012 at the Fraunhofer Institute. For this undertaking a consortium was founded by five enterprises with a project budget of approximately € 1.000.000 in order to realize this ambitious goal and wherein all members bring in valuable key competencies:
In the course of the project it is intended to identify and integrate additional partners, in order to fill further important positions in the recycling loop and in order to create a good starting base for a later commercialization.
