Recycling of styrene-based materials
The goal of this CPNL program line is to improve the quality of dissolution-recycled styrene-based materials. This is done by replacing additives at the design stage, improved sorting of waste streams, such as Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE), and developing and scaling up dissolution-based techniques.
The Circular Plastics NL grant scheme from RVO covers this showcase program line in 2025.
Purpose of the program line
The goal of this program line is to investigate and scale up existing polystyrene recycling technologies, developing a process for large-scale recycling of materials such as ABS and HIPS.
In addition, it aims to stimulate the overall technological development of dissolution processes, with implications for processing different combinations of polymers and aged chemical additives, such as EPS with BFR (HBCD) and ABS/HIPS with BFR.
