The University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli (UNIVAN) published a study showing the results of an environmental LCA that analyses the impact of the adoption of NONTOX innovations for the recycling of End-of-Life vehicles (ELV) plastic, whose intrinsic value is currently wasted (sent to landfill or incineration). More in details, the studied processes include different technologies: …

The project partner UNIVAN (Università degli studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli) wrote a paper that quantifies the environmental performances of the NONTOX innovations by an attributional Life Cycle Assessment. NONTOX approach dedicated to plastics from waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) includes innovations on sorting, dissolution/precipitation, extrusion, catalytic pyrolysis, and plastic upgrading. The NONTOX …

Under the leadership of the Horizon Results Booster Service, the NONTOX project has joined forces with the EU funded projects CREAToR, REACT, Circular Flooring and PLAST2beCLEANED to boost the European market for recycled plastic and to enable the transition towards a green economy and society.

NONTOX project partner FRA (Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV) together with TUM (Technical University of Munich) wrote a paper to characterize the composition of plastics deriving from the waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). In detail, the study aims at characterizing plastic fractions from Electrical and Electronic Equipment currently excluded from recycling …
