SubsidieMeestersBreakthrough Technology for Plastic and Rubber Waste Circular TPE
Ecopolplast aims to scale up a process for creating high-performance circular Ecoplastomers from recycled plastics and tyres, enhancing recycling efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Plastics and rubbers are broadly used to produce different products. Unfortunately, their waste does not degrade and remains in the environment. An increasing amount of generated plastic and rubber waste requires suitable methods for their recycling.
Green Applications
One of the greener applications of both materials is to use them in the production of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). However, when made in this simple but inefficient way, TPEs show poor mechanical performance as a result of incompatibility of polymer blends. Hence, their applications in industry are very limited.
Our Solution
At Ecopolplast, we have created a process that allows mixing recycled scrap tyres with post-consumer plastic, creating circular Ecoplastomers (TPEs). These are the greenest TPEs available globally, made exclusively of discarded recycled plastic and recycled tyre rubber, and without any chemicals and additives.
Technology Validation
We have confirmed that our technology works (TRL 6) and now need EIC Accelerator support to scale up the technology.
