Environmental and economic assessment of producing high-quality plastic recyclates from WEEE
Our presentation examines the economic viability and environmental benefits of recycling plastics from and for electronic equipment. We will present findings from a joint Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing of advanced mechanical, chemical, and solvent-based recycling processes for WEEE plastics. Through selected business cases, we evaluate the production of high-quality recyclates (PP, ABS, PC/ABS) suitable for demanding electronic applications including food-contact materials, medical devices, and products with specialized requirements.
