Polymer Science and Sustainability – Part 1

🚀 Transforming Plastics: The PRIMUS Project Experience!

Welcome to the forefront of sustainable innovation with our online course, “PRIMUS: Get to Know the Project – Reforming Secondary Plastics to Become the Primary Raw Material Choice for Added Value Products.”

🌿 Why This Matters:
Plastics have become a ubiquitous part of our lives, yet their disposal has posed significant environmental challenges. Traditional recycling methods often lead to low-value materials, making incineration for energy a more viable economic option. However, this approach is far from sustainable. The PRIMUS Project aims to revolutionize this paradigm by developing cutting-edge recycling technologies that transform secondary plastics into high-quality materials suitable for manufacturing premium products.

🔍 Our Mission:
By focusing on advanced polymer recycling, the PRIMUS Project seeks to make collecting and recycling plastics an economically attractive and environmentally responsible endeavor. This initiative not only promises to mitigate environmental damage but also paves the way for a new, green economy that can create thousands of jobs across Europe.

🛠️ Course Objectives:

• ✅ Waste Plastic Sampling & Pre-treatment: Learn how to effectively sample and pre-treat waste plastics for optimal recycling outcomes.
• ✅ Supply Chain Development: Understand the importance of creating a sound and sustainable plastic recycling supply chain.
• ✅ Public Engagement: Discover strategies to encourage consumer participation in the plastic recycling economy.
• ✅ Environmental Impact Assessment: Gain knowledge on assessing the ecological footprint of plastic recycling processes.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• The current challenges and environmental impacts of plastic waste.
• Innovative technologies in polymer recycling.
• The economic implications and potential for job creation within the plastics recycling industry.
• How to engage with local communities to promote recycling initiatives.
• Methodologies for evaluating the environmental performance of recycling processes.

🤝 Project Backing:
The PRIMUS Project is proudly supported by a 7 million euro grant from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme, managed by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA). Under Grant Agreement No. 101057067, we are on a journey to reshape the future of plastics recycling.
