polynSPIRE goals
- Enhance plastic recycling through a higher and more flexible usage of heterogeneous plastic waste.
- More efficient energy usage by reducing energy use up to 68% during chemical recycling.
- Decrease the utilisation of primary fossil resources at least 32% in the polyamide and polyurethane sectors and reduce landfilling 25% in polyolefin sector.
- Decrease CO2 equivalent emissions in the plastic sector between 30% and 40%.
- Develop an optimisation and upscaling methodology based on life cycle studies.
- Create roadmaps of cross-regional and cross-country strategies for plastic waste management and analyze the EC barriers on waste management.
