Circular bins
The highest level of recycling is a circular loop of plastics products, going again and again back into the same application. But with waste bins this means that old bins are never enough to produce new recycled ones out of them allone. So the research project "bin-up.at" was started to close this loop and care for post-consumer waste materials recycle/upcycle and even compound them for filling up this gap.
As a result of this Interdisciplinary research project from innovative companies and research institutes in Austria a complete new trend-setting zero-waste and even 100 % circular solution was created with maximum creation of local value. So the EU Directive 2030 for cicular economy is fulfilled already today!
Further a new registered label is arriving on the market and marks this new state of the upcycling art and technique on 100 % circular recycling plastics.
And last but not least this platform was formed to demonstrate live and online the whole product cycle for all partners, like a "digitalized circular economy 4.0" even. From online order for waste pick-up to delivery of again printed goods and products to end customers everything is mapped with this document management system online. Also further interesting tools are available:
- mass bilances
- confirmations about waste material pick-up
- carbon footprints calculated nearly in-situ
- calculations of local creation of value
