Workshop 2. D6.16. Plastics to be cleaned by sorting and separation of plastics and subsequent recycling of polymers, bromine flame retardants and antimony trioxide

report
PLAST2bCLEANED’s aim is to develop a recycling process for Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics in a technically feasible, environmentally sound, and economically viable manner. To fulfil this aim, PLAST2bCLEANED addresses the recycling of the most common WEEE plastics acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) that contain up to 20 wt.-% brominated flame retardants (BFR) and up to 5 wt.-% of the synergist antimony trioxide (ATO). PLAST2bCLEANED will close three loops: (1) polymer, (2) bromine, and (3) ATO. The deliverable D6.16 presents the proceedings and outcomes of the final workshop held at the International Electronic Recycling Congress (IERC) in Salzburg as well as the final webinar at the closure of the project. Both events disseminated the PLAST2bCLEANED project outcomes into more detail. Over the course of three hours, participants engaged in presentations, discussions, and assessments aimed at fostering understanding and dialogue surrounding the innovative technology.
