About

The RE-ASSIGN (REcycling plAStics deSIGN) project, funded by the Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen 21-27 program, aligns with the European Green Deal and the ambition of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. It aims to support companies in their circular economy transition by designing plastic products that incorporate recycled materials (post-consumer or pre-consumer).

  • The partnership brings together five applied research organizations (Certech, CTP, Centexbel, CREPIM, IMT Nord Europe) and seven associated partners (essenscia PolyMatters, Plastiwin, Plastium, Team2, OVAM, Valipac, Lavoisier Circular Transition).

  • The work focuses on sampling methodologies and pre-processing technologies that enable quick and cost-effective characterization of plastic waste streams.

  • Research activities then center on optimizing recycling processes and compounding formulations to integrate the highest possible proportion of recycled materials, while meeting specific product requirements.

  • Lastly, the project emphasizes advanced characterization methods to address critical issues related to legacy additives, substances of concern, degradation products, and NIAS (non-intentionally added substances).
