Project Objectives
One reason for this is that plastics are complex materials and they are used in a wide range of different applications, and recycling these complex plastic products and components usually generates low value materials, so burning it for heat or electricity is economically viable. But not environmentally viable.
PRIMUS Project wants to change this by researching new polymer recycling technologies that allow us to produce new technically and safety compliant recycled materials that can be used for manufacturing high value products, so collecting and recycling plastics becomes now economically feasible, as well as good for the environment.
Increasing the collection and recycling of waste plastics will not only help protecting the environment but will also boost a new emerging industrial economy with the creation of thousands of jobs throughout Europe.
Partnerts
A group of 12 Organisations from 6 European countries, from Technology Centres to Universities, Associations and Manufacturing Industry, are teaming together for this purpose.

As a WEEE plastics recycler and one of Europe's largest fridge recyclers, Coolrec will play an important role in the PRIMUS project as we will supply the materials needed for selected EEE and ELV applications.
I am leading WP6, sustainability assessments, and see this as a great opportunity to contribute to better fitting methodologies and IT especially for understanding the circularity of plastics, to support development of better circular solutions.
In the PRIMUS consortium we have unique complementary expertise about recycling, legislation, traceability, characterization, and conversion of recycled polymer streams.
I have over 30 years research experience related to molecular modelling, raw materials, evaluation on the availability of industry and waste streams, bio-based applications and process development, and production of nanocellulose. My role in EU-PRIMUS is to develop the debromination extraction techniques by deep eutectic solvents.
The collaboration of MAIER in PRIMUS Project focuses on improving the processing and manufacturing techniques of the recycled polymers, to meet the required technical and safety specifications, thus ensuring their use as a suitable raw material for the manufacture of high-quality automotive components.
PRE is committed to make the bridge between the outstanding technical work planned in the PRIMUS project and the legislative framework surrounding plastics recycling.
Communication & Dissemination is all about getting people's attention and passing the message through. Not an easy task these days considering we are all highly overloaded with information. That is why messages need to be tuned for the receiving audience and that is why we put big efforts in being creative and fresh.
Project management is the backbone of the whole project and should create a safe environment that facilitates innovation and research at their finest.
Coolrec being a WEEE and WEEE plastics recycler, we are facing many challenges and opportunities. Probably the biggest challenge in our sector is proving compliance to chemical and product safety related legislation.
Detailed understanding of the chemical composition is in the essence of all activities in the PRIMUS project, whether it is the feedstock characterization, the catalyst development, or the product quality assessment. Different steps in the plastics recycling requires different analytical approaches.
