Objective
Currently, most chemical production sites dispose of used chemicals. This means that these chemicals end up in incinerators or waste disposal sites and will be lost as raw materials. At its site in Darmstadt, Merck has already gained experience in returning these chemicals back to the production process through retro-logistics. This concept avoids waste and minimises resource consumption. This project is designed to allow technology transfer to 11 other EU member countries where Merck has sites.
To return used chemicals into the production process, different pre-requisites must be fulfilled:
1. -To return big volumes, adequate analytical tools to identify the waste are needed
2. -To return 10,000 laboratory chemicals, up to 10 kg an EDP on-line management is essential
3. -In the case of liquid chemicals, the creation of a logistics infrastructure for the returning of recyclable containers is required.
4. -There is also a necessity to adapt all transport documents to the laws and rules of the different countries involved.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
