Separation of small mixed plastic fractions and processing into high-quality material

The project focused on recycling used forming screens and press felts from the paper industry in order to develop innovative methods for recovering and recycling polyamide (PA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Key results included successful experiments in density separation, regranulation, and comprehensive material characterization, which confirmed the technical feasibility of recycling these materials.
