‘The PLAST2bCLEANED process: Recycling WEEE Plastics’ workshop will be held next February 22, 2024, from 9:30 AM-11:30 PM (CET) via Zoom
In this workshop, the PLAST2bCLEANED project will present its outcomes and lessons learned
Madrid, February 13, 2024 – The EU-funded project PLAST2bCLEANED (PLASTtics to be CLEANED) will present an online final a workshop titled “The PLAST2bCLEANED process: recycling WEEE Plastics” concluding nearly five years of work. During the free event, project partners will address the project’s accomplishments and offer detailed evaluations, suggestions, and lessons learned about how to recycle Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics in a process that is both technically and financially feasible while also being environmentally safe.
Project partners will be able to exchange ideas, suggestions, and lessons gained on the safe, practical, and profitable recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics. This free event will serve as a forum for these discussions.
The partners in the consortium will get together to talk about their accomplishments and share their creative recycling strategy. Key representatives in the circular plastics and projects partners, including Judith Kessens, Senior Project Manager Circular Plastics, from TNO, will moderate and participate in the workshop.
Among the notable accomplishments of the PLAST2bCLEANED project is the successfully production of ABS from WEEE using an energy-saving process, indicating an economical viable avenue. Additionally, the team at Electrolux was able to create 23 door frames from this material after it was recompounded at ELIX Polymers, incorporating an impressive 30% of this eco-friendly recycled ABS. Remarkably, this was achieved without any alterations to the original process, demonstrating the project’s ability to integrate sustainable materials without compromising quality.
Participants at the workshop will have a unique opportunity to actively engage in discussions about the implementation of next steps. A panel discussion will focus on removing obstacles and stimulating measures to enhance the circularity of plastics.

About PLAST2bCLEANED
The overall aim of PLAST2bCLEANED is to develop a human and environmentally safe recycling process for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) plastics in a technically feasible and economically viable manner. Three material loops will be closed: (1) polymer; (2), bromine fraction; and (3) antimony trioxide fraction.
