CIRCUS - Circular use of plastic in the automotive industry

Which plastic car parts can be reused, and which parts can be material recycled into new car parts in a safe and resource-efficient way? These are important questions for the automotive industry, questions that are addressed in th…
Project

tExtended – Knowledge based Blueprint for Extended Textile Circularity

The accumulation of textile waste is a global challenge that requires efficient recycling solutions, as it is estimated that less than 1% of textile waste is currently being recycled as a secondary textile raw material. tExtended …
Project

Sustainable vehicle interior solutions

The SVIS project took a holistic approach to a more sustainable production of vehicle interior components and involved suppliers from all relevant areas. The project aims was to create anoverall competence within the consortium ar…
Project

RE:MIX III: Chemical recycling of synthetic textile blends

Each year the average Swedish citizen throws 7.5 kg of textile in the trash, textiles which are then incinerated. The value of 80 000 tons of textile is hence lost, every year. In the project Re:MIX III, RISE and COWI will develop…
Project

Increasing the circularity of high barrier flexible plastic packaging

About 50% of consumer plastic packaging consists of film but only one third that is sorted out can today be materials recycled, while the rest, that includes multimaterial laminate films, is incinerated. This project has investiga…

New solutions for a sustainable automotive industry

Vehicles can be made much more sustainable than they are today. This was concluded by project SVIS, which wrapped up this autumn. Within the project, RISE and partners explored the potential for recycling and reusing vehicle inter…
Story

Chemical PET recycling creates new products

Plastic becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, and on it goes. Using materials in a cycle is important for us to achieve the national environmental and climate goals and the global goals in the …
Expertise

Pretreatment and analysis

Recycling into high-value products require knowledge about your ingoing feedstock as well as the output products from your selected recycling process. We have the tools and the expertise to both obtain and make use of that knowled…
Expertise

Depolymerisation

At RISE you can validate your feedstock, solvent system or catalyst for depolymerisation. Recycling through depolymerisation enables a new lifecycle also for partly degraded or mixed materials.
Expertise

Circular design

Circular design aims at maximizing the durability, repairability, reusability and recyclability of a product. The quality of a recycled material is critically dependent on the quality of the  waste material used; hence circul…
Expertise

SustFR

Flame retardant technologies are traditionally based on halogenated compounds or other hazardous substances. However, various sustainable alternatives have entered the market in recent years. Along with a smart design approach, th…
Expertise

Chemical and thermal plastics analysis

We have very good knowledge about chemical and physical properties of polymers and plastics. We perform material characterisation on plastics, fibers, coatings, adhesives and rubber materials byg DSC, TGA, FTIR and DMTA Failure a…
Expertise

Chemical recycling of plastics

Chemical recycling complements the mechanical recycling of plastics, textiles and glass/carbon fiber composites. Through chemical recycling mixed, aged and End-of-Life plastic streams may be recycled. This enables our already used…
Expertise

Plastic recycling

Plastic recycling contributes to circular material utilization and reduced oil dependence, prerequisites for a sustainable future and for Sweden to reach the goal of no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. Toda…
