Identification

The "recyclability" of some plastics is degraded by the presence of additives, which have allowed the packaging to give special qualities (strength, lightness, etc.). Once used, these materials, known as "multi-component plastic packaging," are a major problem in the plastic lifecycle (end up at best in incineration or burial), although they are a solution to reduce the carbon footprint and overall weight of plastics Packaging. "LOCAL3" proposes to create and develop an industrial solution for multi-component plastics, by processing units using post-industrial and post-consumer waste deposits and developing useful, competitive and recyclable products that can be used locally. The Solution allows all plastics to be reused in a circular economy on a human scale, easily deployable in the areas of material creation concerned. Locally sourced, locally transformed and locally used

Implementation Stories

LOCAL3 by REPLACE
Implemented by City of Sainte-Menehould in Sainte-Menehould (France) in 2021

The City of Sainte-Menehould called upon REPLACE to supply the signal poles made from plastic waste from the region in 2021. The implementation included the delivery of 5 signal poles made of plastic waste within the city. The implementation results were positive as they resist storms and high temperatures. The company further identified this region to produce and deliver huge quantities of recycled tutors for the wine industry in Champagne, and was able to complete a plant installation in parallel.

Result

In 8 months, 500 tons have already been recycled in the public plant

03.

The environmental benefits

  • 1500 ton of multi-components plastic waste transformed in recyclable products, per production unit
  • Products locally transformed, avoiding 8000km * 1500 tons of CO2 per machine unit
  • Products produced will be 100% recycled and 100% Recyclable
04.

The Financial benefits

  • Longer life time (3* more) so means 100% saving for the end user
  • The solution will avoid 1500 tons/yers landfill complex plastic waste per machine installed
  • Avoids paying (for EU) 800 euros/ton penalties (Tax on plastic waste)
