Plast-i-Com: Efficientreuse of contaminated polymers and polymer blends through compatibilisation andstabilisation Centexbel - Scientific and Technical Centre of the Belgian Textile industry
Project goals
One of the biggest challenges of the industry is to produce in a sustainable way. As a consequence, the reduction, re-use, and upgrade of waste is becoming increasingly important. Moreover, the raising prices of raw materials are pushing the industry to economize on raw materials and energy.
Some companies are already experienced in the re-use of intern polymer waste without a significant downgrading ...

Dynamic polymeric systems as basis for reusable high performance materials and polymer therapeutics Ghent University
The aim of this project is to develop new materials based on dynamic polymer networks. On the one hand we focus on developing new chemical and supramolecular strategies for the design of dynamic high performance and reusable polymer networks. On the other hand we aim at exploring the potential of dynamic polymer networks for therapeutic applications.

The path to to chemically recyclable polymers: catalytic synthesis of 1,3-dioxacycloalkanes and their controlled polymerization to high MW polymers KU Leuven
The transition from a linear economy to a fully circular, closed loop economy goes along two tracks. First, for existing materials, improved recycling techniques are desired; but most current polymer types are hard to recycle to identical chemical building blocks. The alternative is to develop materials that are designed to be easily chemically recycled to their original monomers (‘CRM’). In this PhD, the focus is on such a class of polymers, ...
Post-Consumer High-tech Recycled Polymers for a Circular Economy – PolyCE Ghent University
Various activities address the WEEE value chain in order to reduce waste generation and enhance the sustainable resource management through use of recycled materials instead of their virgin counterparts. While the system for metals recycling is already well established, the rising volumes of waste plastics point to stalemates in the current plastics economy, which hamper its shift to a more circular model. Although there are individual ...
