Objectives

• Identification and analysis of sorting technologies for the different multi-composite wastes under study to optimise the recycling process on the demonstrator line.
• Acquisition of knowledge on the legislation controlling treatment and solutions in waste management in the project’s target sectors of textile, footwear, toys and habitat.
• Identification, quantification and definition of the type of multi-format and multi-composition waste to be considered in the footwear, textile, toy and habitat sectors.
• Transformation of the multi-composite waste identified in the CIRCULAR INDUSTRY demonstrator line into different formats that can be recovered by new value chains.
• Physical, chemical and morphological characterisation of the different waste fractions obtained in the demonstrator line.
• Research and development of new eco-designed materials from the different wastes obtained
• Study of the specific properties of new materials obtained using different processing technologies
• Identification of the applicability of the new materials developed in the footwear, textile, toy and habitat sectors.
• Knowledge and technology transfer exercise to the companies collaborating in the project from the four sectors involved.
• Dissemination of the project among the companies of the three Valencian industrial sectors represented by INESCOP, AITEX and AIJU, and the habitat industry, through the associations and companies involved. Extension of the dissemination to third parties interested in environments such as public administration and associations, training and education centres and social projects related to the field of circular economy.
