Within the WP5 – Framework analysis and activities to enhance recycling activities, a summary document presenting the legislative and policy context affecting the recycling of plastic has been prepared. The booklet presents the regulatory framework and operational environment (including directives and standards) currently in place for the three waste streams studied in the NONTOX projects: …
On 16th and 17th of November 2021, the NONTOX beneficiaries attended the 6th Consortium Meeting of the project. The meeting was organized in a hybrid format to allow the participation of as many partners as possible. The face-to-face meeting has been hosted by IMDEA Energy, in Móstoles (Madrid, Spain). IMDEA Energy is the NONTOX partner …
During the Horizon Result Booster activities, NONTOX elaborated a Policy Brief report as part of our joint collaboration together with the H2020 projects Circular Flooring, CREAToR, REACT and PLAST2bCLEANED. The current policy frame for plastics recycling have been analyzed and a series of recommendations propose. The document showcases to policymakers and to key decision-makers “An EU Joint Approach …
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 …
