CreaSolv® Pilot plant for post-consumer PVC floor coverings with banned Plasticizer
The overall aim of the project is to produce New Products from Waste PVC Flooring and Safe End-of-Life Treatment of Plasticisers, because only recycling rates of 20% have been achieved so far, while a large percentage of the PVC waste is still landfilled or incinerated. Therefore, the Circular Flooring consortium is further developing the CreaSolv® Process to separate the PVC (polyvinylchlorid) polymer from post-consumer floor coverings from legacy plasticizers (phthalic acid esters) that are not conform to the EU REACH-Directive.1)
