What we recycle

Plastics

Plastics are composed of polymers i.e., compounds made of many small molecules.

Ferrous metals

Ferrous metals, primarily composed of iron, include materials like steel and cast iron, which are commonly found in construction, manufacturing, and transportation.

Non-Ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and titanium, do not contain iron and are valued for their resistance to corrosion and high conductivity.

Paper

Recycled paper is a versatile material that can replace or supplement virgin pulp to create new products like packaging, newspapers, and insulation.

Textiles

Textiles, including both synthetic fibers like polyester and natural fibers like cotton, are integral to daily life, with global production nearly tripling since 1975.

Tyres

Tyres contain multiple valuable materials such as rubber (75%), steel (15%) and textile fibres (10%).

Construction & Demolition

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste includes materials like concrete, bricks, wood, metals, glass, plastics, and hazardous substances such as asbestos.

End-of-life Vehicles

End-of-life Vehicles (ELVs) contain valuable materials like metals (steel, aluminum), plastics, rubber, and glass, as well as batteries.

E-waste

E-waste, otherwise referred to as waste electronical and electronic equipment (WEEE), is mainly composed of non-ferrous metals (nickel, copper, lead, etc.

Ships

End-of-life ships are decommissioned vessels that contain valuable materials like steel, metals, and electronics, along with hazardous substances such as asbestos, oils, and toxic chemicals.

Who we are

CIMPA Final Event: Advancing the circularity of complex plastic films

When & where

When & where

To boost plastic circularity and meet the ambitious targets set by EU legislation, knowledge and solutions from R&I projects are essential. Over the past three years, the EU-funded H2020 CIMPA consortium has developed innovative solutions to transform multilayer plastic waste from packaging and agricultural applications into circular and valuable resources.

This event will showcase the key findings of the CIMPA project, along with clustering initiatives on circular plastics and recommendations from policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and NGOs on unlocking the potential of plastic film recycling.

The event will conclude with a networking cocktail and a poster session highlighting new technologies to enhance plastics recycling.

This is a unique opportunity to learn about the CIMPA project’s findings and engage with various stakeholders dedicated to advancing the circularity of plastic films.

What can you expect from this event?

  • Highlights of the main CIMPA project findings: from sorting to upgrading
  • Clustering initiatives for circular plastics
  • Discussions on challenges and policy developments to boost plastic film recycling
