Value Chain Mapping and Optimization Proposals
February 2020 to April 2021
COMPLETED
Determine the needs of different markets for recycled plastics.
Establish the ideal stream for collected plastics and for sorting centres, up to the time they are packaged and transformed by recyclers, to ensure technical compliance so they can be reintegrated in the manufacturing of new products
Consolidate all the information collected from past and current projects with regards to sorting centres (characterization, performance, equipment) and processors (equipment, needs).
Carry out additional characterizations and analyses to generate missing/complementary information
Make assumptions of possible ways to improve processes, equipment or technology in sorting centers and processing facilities in order to create a greater synergy within the value chain.
Carry out preliminary simulations to trial the identified improved processes/equipment and propose the selected improvement scenarios that will be put into practice in Phase II
