TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE: build a SW/HW platform for the retrofitting of poly-condensation plants for PET, to allow them using post-consumer waste as main raw material. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Create a network of smaller-scale European producer of fully circular PET by linking to the PET/polyester value chain.
Re-START’s SCOPETesting, optimization and
demonstration with highly varied input waste materials
