Design of an innovative line for the recycling and reintroduction of polystyrene into the food chain as packaging, using advanced decontamination and purification processes
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
The project carries out the development and implementation of a new innovative line for the recycling of polystyrene, integrating advanced technologies to ensure its decontamination and purification, which include optical separation systems and artificial intelligence to guarantee the quality and origin of the recycled material, thus allowing its future reintroduction in food packaging. This initiative thus contributes to the reduction of plastic waste and promotes the circular economy by reincorporating recycled polystyrene into the packaging production chain.

The objective of the project is to implement a mechanical polystyrene (PE) recycling line through its separation, decontamination and purification, making it possible for it to be used again in applications in contact with food in compliance with EU Regulation 2022/1616. PE waste will be separated from plastic waste from post-consumer household waste (15 01 02 Plastic Packaging and 20 01 39 Plastics).
