Pre-treatment test center

With this project and this investment, we want to contribute to society becoming more circular in its plastic use by enabling companies to test and develop pre-treatment processes for plastic recycling, but with the effect goal of reducing CO2 emissions from plastic use in Sweden. In the short term, we intend to build a test bed for pre-treatment of plastics with a sorting and a washing plant, which also consolidates West Sweden as a leader in research and development in plastic recycling. Sorting and washing is extremely important to get high-quality recycled materials in the end, which is required for the market to really take off. In the longer term, we can then offer companies to come to the test bed to develop their processes, we will be able to conduct cutting-edge research and method development, including with the help of RISE sensor and AI departments and collaboration with Chalmers.
