Sustainability & Circularity
Sustainability & Circularity
In CETEC one of our main objectives is to work looking for new and better solutions to reach sustainability & circularity in plastics and transformation processes.
CETEC's sustainability and circularity research lines
Success cases
Among the most successful projects developed by CETEC are those dedicated to the valorisation of residues, upcycling and the development of techniques and materials that allow a more sustainable evolution within the industry.
Safe and sustainable plastics materials development
CETEC is committed to the development of safe and sustainable materials through specific research lines:
- Circular-by-design of plastics formulations and compounds allowing for their reuse and recycling, including composting in the case of biodegradable biopolymers.
- Safe and sustainable-by-design of plastics formulation compounds and products.
- Development of bioplastics materials from renewable sources and development of bioplastics formulations based on biopolymers and natural additives.
- Modification of biodegradation properties of biopolymers by formulation.
- Research into biodegradable and compostable materials.
- Sustainable extraction processes for the extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates.
- Efficient alternatives for rubber recycling.
