Two-step complete chemical recycling of polyurethane waste.

This project aims at the complete recycling of polyurethane waste, by a two stage procedure in which both polyols and isocyanates are recovered. With respect to state-of-the-art technologies and concurrent research initiatives, this project targets production of isocyanate fractions from waste via a shorter route, without prior production of amines. An important operational goal is the development of a new lab scale custom reactor setup, next to the testing on actual polyurethane waste samples.
