Media: Plastic recovery from WEEE and automotive waste, closed-loop recycling (Dutch article: Deze start-up kan plastic uit elektronica en auto’s wél recyclen)

Plastic uit elektrische apparaten, computers, auto’s, chipszakken of douchekoppen wordt momenteel mondjesmaat gerecycled tot nieuwe, schone grondstoffen. Start-up Resolved Technologies heeft daar letterlijk een oplossing voor gevonden: oplossen in een oplosmiddel. Volgend jaar moet een eerste pilotfabriek op chemiecomplex Chemelot via deze methode 25 kilo plastic per uur gaan recyclen.

Media: A hybrid solution through solvent-based recycling (Dutch article).

Voor technische kunststoffen, of engineering plastics, wordt closed loop recycling steeds belangrijker. Maar vaak bevatten deze materialen ongewenste componenten, waardoor hoogwaardig hergebruik wordt belemmerd. ReSolved Technologies ziet de oplossing in het letterlijk oplossen van de afvalstromen. ‘Wij denken dat de markt er nu klaar voor is.’

Dragons’ Den: recycling engineering plastics by dissolving

The Netherlands – Recycling high-quality engineering plastics requires a specific approach. According to Norbert Fraunholcz of startup Resolved Technologies, dissolving is the best option for most plastic types in this group of materials. During Dragons’ Den of Transition, the startup is looking for chain partners. And Fraunholcz immediately thinks a little bigger. He is also looking for partners to introduce the ‘dual carbon and circularity credit’.

Article ReSolved Technologies about Carbon & Circularity Credits

Plastics are one of the largest group of raw materials. In fact, plastics production by volume outweighs the production of all metals combined. The circularity of raw materials has been in the spotlights in recent years, as it is one of the main pillars of sustainability together with greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling from waste is the most important tool to make raw materials circular. At the same time, the CO2 emission associated with the production of plastics can be reduced by 50 to 80% through recycling compared to production from fossil fuels. Given the fact that approx. half of the global CO2 emission is related to the production of raw materials, these savings are significant.
