Post-consument high-tech gerecycleerde polymeren voor een circulaire economie KU Leuven
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 ...
PolyUrethane Recycling naar een slimme circulaire economie KU Leuven
Thermosetting Polyurethanes (PU) provide a unique combination of durability, light weight, high strength and flexibility to high value consumer goods and other applications. PU thermosets have grown to a global market of 50 billion €, ultimately resulting in high volumes of waste mostly disposed via landfill or incineration as the SOA of the recycling technology is limited. PUReSmart will bridge the gap between the current PU linear economy ...
Waterstofplasmareductie voor de staalproductie en de circulaire economie KU Leuven
The main objective of H2PlasmaRed is to develop hydrogen plasma smelting reduction (HPSR) technology for the reduction of iron ores and steelmaking sidestreams to meet the targets of the European Green Deal for reducing CO2 emissions and supporting the circular economy in the steel industry across Europe.

INCREACE - VERHOGEN VAN GERECYCLEERDE INHOUD IN PRODUCTEN MET TOEGEVOEGDE WAARDE VOOR EEN VEERKRACHTIGE EN GEDIGITALISEERDE CIRCULAIRE ECONOMIE KU Leuven
Increasing the share of recycled plastics in new products is a central aspect of the European Strategy for Plastics, adopted by the European Commission in 2018 as a part of the first Circular Economy Action Plan (2015). One of the main goals of the Strategy is to ensure that by 2025 10 million tonnes of recycled plastics find their way into new products on the EU market , against less than 4 million tonnes in 2016. However, in 2016 only 8.4 ...
