Ekopartner Silesia Sp. z o.o. (EPS) is a company whose main activity is recycling of plastics, in particular polyolefins. Today EPS is becoming one of plastics recycling leaders in Southern Poland (Silesia Region). In EPS’s plants, waste is subjected to treatment processes, which result in high-quality raw material used in the production of plastic products.
Beneficiaries
Co-financing institutions
Objective 1
to design, implement, test and validate the pilot PLC plant for efficient sorting of mixed hard plastic waste
Objective 2
to implement standardized PLC-compatible procedures for mixed hard plastic waste pre-sorting in municipal waste treatment plants and thus to create standardized waste stream as an input to PLCplant (3,500t/y)
Objective 3
to design, implement, test and validate the pilot unit for production of tailored compounds for products manufacturing with 70-90% recycled material from PLC (capacity 400t/y)
Objective 4
to design, implement, test and validate the innovative mobile 3Dprinting prototype with 100% recycled material from PLC (capacity 65t/y)
Objective 5
to establish new circular business network (i.e. PLCnetwork) to boost cooperation between municipal waste treatment plants, plastic-recyclers and converters (12 plants, 3 countries)
Objective 6
to increase the quality of recycled polyolefins reaching levels of food packaging production - 3 newly developed tailored compounds
Objective 7
to develop 5 market-ready products using bulk amounts (70-100%) of PLC-recycled materials
Objective 8
to prepare PLCtechnology replication&transfer starting with environmental decisions for two full-scale plants
