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 …

In March 2021, a member of NONTOX consortium, “Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli”, published a scientific paper on Waste Management, one of the most important peer review journal in the area of resource recovery from wastes. The study evaluated the environmental performances of the European management of plastics deriving from Waste of Electrical …
NONTOX project participated on January 29th, 2021 to H2020 projects online workshop: “Innovative methods to remove hazardous substances and contaminants from secondary raw materials for the circular economy” organised by EASME. Other projects in the event were CIRCULAR FLOORING, CREAToR, PLAST2bCLEANED, REMADYL, REACT and PureNano. Totally almost 160 participants attended the workshop. NONTOX project coordinator …
NONTOX deliverable D5.1 presents the key areas of interest of the regulatory framework and operational environment in the EU, based on relevant existing directives and standards, with a special focus on criteria and requirements for the recycling of plastic waste containing hazardous substances. The legislative framework includes key waste, product, and chemical legislation, as well …

Plastic fraction represents around 30% of the total Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and is composed by a great variety of polymers (ABS, PS, HIPS, PE/PP, PC, etc..) and additives. Among the latter Bromine Flame Retardants (BFR) are substances of great environmental and health concern that require to be safely disposed. Mechanical recycling processes …

This presentation gives an overview of NONTOX Project.
In this blog post, Anna Tenhunen tells about a feedstock mapping exercise that was carried out to evaluate the volumes and current treatment routes for WEEE, ELV and CDW plastics in Europe, and to identify the plastic waste streams that are not currently recycled or are otherwise potential for the NONTOX project.
On October 14th, ERION, partner of the project, joined the Plastics Circularity Multiplier online conference, presenting NONTOX Project updates. A network of industrial and academic actors, together with policymakers discussed EuropeanUnion-funded projects focused on innovations that aim of bringing plastic materials into the circular economy
NONTOX Project video provides an overview of the approach adopted to recycle plastics containing hazardous substances. Interventions of three sector experts support the overview of innovative technological solutions: Martin Schlummer (Fraunhofer IVV), Sandra Ramos Quiros (AIMPLAS) and Juan Miguel Moreno Rodriguez (IMDEA Energy).
