Reaching our goal in 2021 - after 4 years of research and development
Our aim is to solve the disposal problem of GRP waste by converting waste into a reusable recyclate. As part of a preliminary project, we examined whether this project could be realized at all. The results of the preliminary project and the associated findings have encouraged us and prompted us to launch an extensive research project.
With the support of Innosuisse, the collaboration of the FHNW School of Engineering and various partners from industry, a process was developed after an extensive research phase that enables GRP recycling in the sense of the circular economy. By transforming the GRP waste into a new and innovative recyclate, it can be used to manufacture new products.
The following criteria were checked with regard to their achievability:
- Technological feasibility of the recycling process
- Economic feasibility of the business model
- Ecological advantages of the process (life cycle assessment according to ISO 14040 / 14044)
- 50% less CO2 emissions
- 70% less energy consumption
- 100% recyclable - no greenwashing!
- 50% less CO2 emissions
As all criteria are now metthe material cycle can be closed with this innovative recycling process, thereby contributing to ecological, economic and social sustainability.
The process and the products have reached market maturity. We are looking for partners to scale up to an industrial scale and enter the market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
