CREAToR

COLLECT . PURIFY . REUSE

CREAToR is an EU-funded project focused on developing and demonstrating processes (at TRL 5) to remove hazardous bromine-containing flame retardants using continuous purification technologies. CREAToR will cover the entire value chain, starting with the collection of thermoplastic waste streams from buildings and construction (B&C) and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The project will implement the way to collect secondary raw materials, identify the presence of hazardous flame retardants, remove these contaminants from the materials and ultimately reuse the materials. As case studies, the purified materials will be reused as valuable secondary raw materials for the new B&C insulation boards, for automotive interior applications and for the production of 3D printed parts for aerospace applications, closing the loop of the economy.
