OPTOMS - Optimising the production of thermoset resins from MSW-derived sugars

该项目将展示在热固性树脂制造中使用从剩余废物（MSW）中生产的糖。Fiberight有限公司和可耐福绝缘公司将与利兹大学和阿伯里斯特威斯大学的学术专家合作，进行绝缘产品热固性树脂的试点和示范规模的生产试验。Fiberight开发了一种创新的循环经济解决方案，从“黑袋”或剩余废物中创造增值产品，这些废物通常被送往垃圾填埋场或焚烧。该过程处理和洗涤废物材料，并从废物流的纸部分中回收纤维素，然后用酶处理以产生废物衍生的糖。该项目将展示废物衍生糖的高价值用途，具有一系列环境效益，包括从垃圾填埋场或焚烧中转移废物，从废物中回收有价值的资源，并使用这些材料制造可持续的绝缘产品，这反过来又将通过家庭和建筑物的节能提供进一步的环境效益。

This project will demonstrate the use of sugars produced from residual waste (MSW) in the manufacture of thermoset resins. Fiberight Ltd and Knauf Insulation will collaborate, with academic expertise from the University of Leeds and Aberystwyth University, to undertake pilot and demonstration scale manufacturing trials of thermoset resins for insulation products. Fiberight has developed an innovative circular economy solution to create value-added products from 'black bag' or residual waste, which is typically sent to landfill or incinerated. The process treats and washes the waste material and recovers the cellulose from the paper fraction of the waste stream, which is then treated with enzymes to generate waste-derived sugars. This project will demonstrate a high-value use for the waste-derived sugars with a range of environmental benefits, including diverting waste from landfill or incineration, recovering valuable resources from waste and using the materials to manufacture sustainable insulation products, which in turn will provide further environmental benefits through energy conservation in homes and buildings.
