MFP1.2: A Process Systems Engineering Approach to The Recycling Value Chain

Project: Funded researchFFG - Austrian Research Promotion Agency

Project Details

Description

Our overall objective is to understand, otimize and control the mechanical recycling process chain for selcted material streams, using large volumes of data produced by academic and company partners, and a comprehensive data-based approach. The goasl are to assess and optimize different recycling strategies involving pre-conditioning, regranulation, and compounding, and characterize best practices for different feedstock qualities and downstream quality requirements for selected use cases.
