CREPIM recyclage - les étapes clés

CREPIM recyclage : audit des gisements

SORTING : Study of the nature of the deposit of waste in order to have a realistic perspective

  • Characterization of the deposit of waste (composition, qualitative and quantitative analysis
  • Detection of targeted compounds by European regulations (fire retardant, heavy metals, etc.)
  • Optimization of management of waste streams according to their types
CREPIM recyclage : caractérisation des matériaux

RECYCLING: Study of material at the end of life

  • Study the characteristics of the recycled material (thermal, mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc.)
  • Research ways to upgrade (energetic, new secondary raw material)
CREPIM recyclage : revalorisation de la matière

VALORIZATION : Solution of revaluating materials

  • Study treatment solutions: regeneration, decontamination of the material
  • Reformulation and development of new material : compounding, compatibilizing material
  • Identification of industrial opportunities for the new material (iso-function, news opportunities, etc.)
  • Realization of the data sheet specification of the new secondary raw material.
