Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications
MDS separation technique can separate a mixed, post-consumer plastic waste stream into near-to-virgin polymers. Basis is resource-focussed recycling instead of object-focussed techniques, it does this locally near the waste and all processing at one location and with a 90% recovery of available raw materials. This high recovery rate and the purity of the output guarantee valuable raw materials, with a low ecological footprint. It optimises the recycling chain in three ways: 1) Processing from waste to raw material at one location: reduction of CO2 emissions per recycled unit due to transport. 2) It comes to a 99% purity of output products, where the current best available techniques come to 90% purity. 3) MDS separation technique only has an average input loss of 10% which is less than current recycling plants
The Environmental Benefits
- •0,6 kg of CO2 emitted in comparison to 2 kg of CO2 to regain 1 kg of plastic
- •90% of the plastic packaging is recycled instead of only half of the flow
The Financial Benefits
- •Minus 15$ per ton of recycled plastic in stead of 350$/tn
- •Output value of about 800$/tn
