Objectives

The strategy to achieve SaP’s main goal was divided into specific objectives related to the project’s 4 focus areas. All of them use SSbD methodologies.

Circular Economy


To reuse and recycle valuable PE materials, contributing to a circular economy in the EU, through the:

  • Separation of materials at End-of-Life (EoL)
  • Refinement of materials for resynthesis
  • Validation of the efficacy of biodegradable EoL for bio-degradable PE
  • Minimization of resource consumption and waste generation during EoL for PE
  •  

To provide sustainable materials and formulations for PE, utilizing either bio-based or recycled electronic waste sources, including the:

  • Development of re-synthesis methods for valuable NMs and PE formulations
  • Development of biobased NMs for PE formulations
  • Development of biobased substrates for PE production
  • Scale-up of the production of sustainable materials
