MK6: Passive Fire Protection System and Waste Construction Polystyrene Utilization

PRTR Call for Proposals Project

This project focuses on the equipment needed to first produce a circular product using polystyrene from construction, which protects metal structures against fires, using advanced technologies and materials local to Europe. In addition, this secondary raw material may be incorporated into the manufacture of existing mortars. The investment includes a system for crushing and sorting EPS (expanded polystyrene), and storage, dosing and packaging structures that are unique to incorporating polystyrene as waste.
