Sharing experiences and project developments to boost fruitful synergies within the consortium
Precycling project – 12M progress meeting 15 & 16 March 2023
The 17 partners of the PRecycling consortium came together during the 2-day 12 months progress meeting on 15 and 16 March 2023, hosted by Fraunhofer IVV in Freising (Germany).
The Project Coordinator Prof. Costas Charitidis (NTUA) introduced the main goals of the 12M meeting, briefly presented the achievements for each Work Package and gave an overview of the timeline for the upcoming year for preparation of the 18M Review meeting.
Precycling project represented during the Bio!Toy conference
The PRecycling project participated in the Bio!Toy conference, which took place in Nuremberg (Germany) on 21 and 22 March 2023. The focus of the event was placed on the undisputable need to boost the development of sustainable industries within the toys sector. The main drivers of the event have been recyclability, the use of recycled/renewable raw materials as well as CO2 emissions reductions.
Synergy between PRecycling and Primus projects: cooperating towards the circularity in the plastics sector
Together with PRecycling project, Primus Project (Reforming secondary plastics to become the primary raw material choice for added-value products) as well was funded by the European Commission under the topic HORIZON-CL4-2021-RESILIENCE-01-10 (RIA) - Paving the way to an increased share of recycled plastics in added value products.
The recycling of plastic waste as a sustainable alternative to the production of toys
In order to improve plastics recycling and reuse, there are currently several regulations and legislations in place which specify a number of actions tailored to different sectors. In this regard, both the EU and State-levels legal framework set obligations to control the disposal of unsold excesses of non-perishable goods (e.g., toys), contextually encouraging activities such as their repair or reuse, and ultimately their recycling in accordance with defined waste hierarchies.
