Project

BHET monomer production based on PET packages

The purpose is to prepare the establishment of an industrial plant for the production of the monomer and the chemical bishydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET) which uses PET plastic from sorted packaging as a raw material. PET from so…
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…
Project

Chemically Recycled PET/Polyester as Raw Material for Additive and New

Industrial waste of polyester, used straps, production waste of textile and PET packages with labels, dyestuff and film have been materials recycled by depolymerization. The product after recycling is pure monomer, that can be raw…
Story

How do I best recycle?

There are many decisions to be made when it comes to recycling – such as whether materials should be recycled mechanically or chemically. Mattias Andersson, researcher at RISE's unit for materials, processing and recycling, e…
Expertise

Material recycling of packaging

Almost all products are packaged, creating significant material volumes that circulate relatively quickly. In the transition to a circular society, packaging has become an area subject to new requirements and regulations, posing c…
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

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

Material development of plastics

Material development based on e.g. bio-based and recycled streams are an important part of transitioning to a sustainable future. Our long expertise in material development combined with our equipment makes us a unique resource fo…
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…
Expertise

Substitution of hazardous chemicals

Non-toxic and circular cycles are a focus area in Sweden’s circular economy strategy. Hazardous chemicals in products and processes need to be replaced in order to protect human health and our environment. RISE has expertise in ev…
Network

Network for plastic recycling

The Network for plastic recycling is a platform for knowledge dissemination and collaboration, a meeting place where industry, academia and authorities meet, exchange experiences, discuss challenges and opportunities.
Test & demo

Test bed for recycling of plastics

The use of plastics need to be more sustainable, and more plastic need to be recycled back into new products in a resource-efficient way. RISE Testbed for recycling of plastics is an arena and test facility for plastic recycling t…
