Objective TO IMPROVE METHODS OF UPGRADING AND RE-USING PET FROM POST CONSUMED AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF RECYCLED BOTTLES AND TO DEFINE FINISHED SPECIFICATIONS OF MATERIAL TO MEET THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY CONSUMPTION. OBJECTIVES: TO CONSERVE ENERGY AND RAW MATERIALS. TO REDUCE WASTE ARISINGS. TO EFFECT THE ECONOMIC RECYCLING OF WASTE AS RAW MATERIALS. TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. TO PRODUCE A MATERIAL WITH SIMILAR PROPERTIES AS VIRGIN PET. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 1.- TO GRANULATED PET POST CONSUMER WASTE FROM A BAILLED FORM. MATERIAL WILL INCLUDE BOTTLE TOPS, PAPER, GLUE, BASE CUPS, PRODUCT AND GENERAL CONTAMINATES. 2.- PRE WASH TO REMOVE HEAVY CONTAMINATES BY SINK FLOAT METHOD. 3.- SOLVENT SEPARATION AND SOLVENT RECOVERY TO BE DEVELOPED TO REMOVE HOT MELT GLUES AND ANY RAMAINING PRODUCT IE LEMONADE, BEER, ETC... 4.- SINK, FLOAT ANY REMAINING PAPER AND BASE CUP MATERIAL. 5.- HYDROCYCLONE TECHNOLOGY TO BE DEVELOPED TO REMOVE SMALL FRACTIONS OF CONTAMINATIONS AND SEPARATE OUT THE FINAL HIGH GRADE PET FROM ANY METAL OR ALLOY CONTAMINATION. 6.- PROPOSED SYSTEM TO COMMERCIALLY PRODUCE RECLAINED PET AT ONE TONNE PER HOUR MINIMUM, WHICH IS SUITABLE FOR THE DRINKS INDUSTRY.
