Description du projet
Un recyclage du plastique respectueux de l’environnement et peu coûteux
Depuis les années 1950, plus de 8,3 milliards de tonnes de plastique ont été produites dans le monde, dont 80 % se retrouvent dans des décharges ou dans l’océan. Plus d’un quart du plastique produit est issu de l’emballage, alors que seulement 14 % est recyclé et le reste est incinéré ou se retrouve dans l’environnement. Le projet PLASTDEINK, financé par l’UE, entend utiliser la technologie CADEL DEINKING pour délaminer et désencrer des déchets plastiques imprimés. Le plastique désencré et délaminé possède une qualité semblable à celle du plastique vierge et sa production est 45 % moins coûteuse. Le projet PLASTDEINK vise à contribuer à l’instauration d’une économie circulaire réelle dans le cadre de la politique européenne en matière de déchets plastiques.
Objectif
THE PROBLEM
Since 1950s more than 8.3 billion tonnes of plastics have been produced worldwide (348 million in 2017 ). From this, almost 80% have been landfilled or leaked into the ocean increasing more and more the negative environmental impact (leachate and greenhouse gases). Currently, more than a quarter of the plastic production is packaging, growing 5% per year, which only 14% is recycled while the rest is incinerated (14%), leakage into the environment (32%) and landfilled (40%).
Plastdeink has born to solve the main recycling problems that affects the EU since the last decades:
- Multilayer plastic is not recyclable
- Inked recycled plastic packaging goes to downcycling
- Post-industrial plastic never end in the market
THE SOLUTION
Plastdeink is a unique technology able to delaminate and deink laminated and surface-printed film. CADEL DEINKING (a technology-based SME founded in 2014) has developed an innovative, environmentally friendly and low-cost process to delaminate & deink printed plastic scraps.
Plastic (delaminated and deinked) obtained with this process has a similar quality to virgin plastic, what converts it in a high value product for several applications. The product obtained with Plastdeink is a 45% cheaper than virgin plastic.
CADEL´s proposal has the objective to contribute to a real Circular Economy in the frame of EU plastic waste policy for mono and multi-material flexible packaging.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
CADEL´s delaminated & deinked technology is an important breakthrough for the plastic industry. Plastdeink represents a business opportunity to our potential customers: the process removes inked, odours and delaminate in one step to reintroduce the plastic into high-added value applications.
- Plastic converters will be able to use their own plastic scraps, instead of buying new virgin plastic (so much expensive)
- Plastic recyclers will be able to produce high value-added plastic at a low production cost.
