Recycling cascade for plastic waste

It is particularly important to find the right process for waste that is difficult to recycle. This type of waste includes, for example, mixed packaging waste, shredder residues or composite materials that can no longer be recycled using conventional mechanical processes.

With the CCPE recycling cascade, we at Fraunhofer CCPE show you how your plastic-containing waste can be turned back into high-quality plastic recyclates with an optimized product yield. The recycling cascade is based on a combination of three Fraunhofer recycling technologies: solvent based recycling, solvolysis and the iCycle® process. In addition, we are further developing mechanical pre-treatment for process-orientated material feeding (shredding, sifting, washing).

Would you like to know which recycling method can generate the best output from your input material? We will be happy to support you with suitable solutions and develop an individual concept with you.
