INCREACE

2022-2026

The INCREACE (INCreasing REcycled content in Added value products for a resilient and digitized Circular Economy) project has been funded by the EU Horizon Program. The overarching objective of INCREACE is to enable an increased uptake of recycled plastics in added value products such as EEE (Electrical and Electronic Equipment) through innovative and systemic solutions along the entire recycled plastics value chain. For this purpose, research and innovation actions will be required at each step of the value chain. The project starts with specific design challenges coming from the industry partners that are translated into specific technical, legal, economic and traceability requirements that suppliers of recycled materials have to meet. The INCREACE project partners are world leaders in their respective fields, used to forming long-lasting interdisciplinary and international alliances and are therefore well positioned to tackle missing segments in the plastics recycling value chain, strengthen the EU’s industrial base, and boost its competitiveness and open strategic autonomy on an international level.

Among the participating universities and research organisations in this project are external page KU Leuven, external page Maastricht University and external page Vision on Technology for a better world (VITO).
