Uncaptured Unrecycled Plastics Project - UP

“未捕获的未回收塑料（UP）”项目将建立和运营一个商业规模的示范设施，用于从混合废物流中回收，分类和回收消费后塑料包装。重点是（i）薄膜和柔性的可持续解决方案;（ii）有问题的塑料包装的解决方案。混合残留废物流，如MSW（混合残留物），MRF-拒绝（废物分类拒绝）和在旅途中/食品零售店废物目前被焚烧，填埋，出口或用作RDF（垃圾衍生燃料）。在这些流塑料包装是混合与其他类型的包装（玻璃，金属，纸张，纸板）和食物垃圾，使其无法捕获，无法回收，目前的塑料回收基础设施之外。拟议的示范将使用由Fiberight Ltd和Impact Recycling开发的关键创新技术，以最大限度地回收消费后的塑料包装，从混合废物，用于进一步的机械和化学回收应用。以需求为导向的创新将用于确保回收的塑料材料符合回收或制造利益相关者的要求。UP将参与整个塑料包装和回收供应链，原料供应商，回收商，承购商和最终用户都致力于提供所需的资源和时间来证明UP概念。Fiberight和Impact都开发了水基材料分离技术，因此，UP提供了一个独特的机会来展示包含封闭的水和能源循环的垂直整合解决方案。该示范项目将把塑料加工供应链的几个步骤浓缩到一个地点，证明塑料回收和再循环具有显著的经济和环境效益。UP项目将有助于实现英国塑料公约的几个目标：（i）100%的塑料包装可回收;（ii）70%的塑料包装有效回收;（iii）70%的塑料包装可回收;（iv）塑料包装可回收。及（iii）通过为循环再用工序提供新的原料来源，使循环再用成分占30%。该示范项目的产出将使英国制造商可获得的柔性塑料回收量增加70%。该项目将展示一种高度颠覆性的创新技术，同时也展示了重大的行业参与、影响和开发潜力。**唯一的方法就是向上！**

The 'Uncaptured Unrecycled Plastics (UP)' project will establish and operate a commercial-scale demonstration facility for the recovery, sorting and recycling of post-consumer plastic packaging from mixed waste streams. The focus is on the themes of (i) sustainable solutions for films and flexibles; and (ii) solutions for problematic plastic packaging. Mixed residual waste streams such as MSW (mixed residual), MRF-rejects (waste sorting rejects), and on-the-go/food retail outlet wastes are currently incinerated, landfilled, exported or used as RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel). In these streams plastic packaging is mixed with other types of packaging (glass, metal, paper, cardboard) and food waste which makes it uncaptured, unrecyclable and outside of the current plastic recycling infrastructure.The proposed demonstrator will use key innovative technologies developed by Fiberight Ltd and Impact Recycling to maximise the recovery of post-consumer plastic packaging, from mixed waste, for use in onward mechanical and chemical recycling applications. Demand-led innovation will be used to ensure the plastic materials recovered are of a high-specification as required by recycling or manufacturing stakeholders. UP will engage with the entire plastics packaging and recycling supply chain, with feedstock suppliers, recyclers, off-takers and end-users all committed to providing the resources and time required to prove the UP concept.Both Fiberight and Impact have developed water-based materials segregation technologies, thus, UP provides a unique opportunity to showcase a vertically integrated solution containing a closed water and energy loop. The demonstrator will condense several steps of the plastics processing supply chain onto one site; proving significant economic and environmental benefits for plastics recovery and recycling.The UP project will contribute to several UK Plastics Pact targets; (i) 100% plastic packaging to be recyclable; (ii) 70% plastic packaging effectively recycled; and (iii) 30% recycled content by providing new sources of feedstock for recycling processes. The output of the demonstrator will lead to a 70% increase in the flexible plastic recyclate available for UK manufacturers.This project will demonstrate a highly disruptive, innovative technology whilst also showcasing significant industry engagement, impact and exploitation potential.**The only way is UP!**
