PUReSmart consortium invites you to a workshop aiming at detailing:
- Foam-to-foam recycling via the use of Covalent Adaptable Networks, sorting of polyurethane foams i.f.o chemolysis, and results of the Smart Chemolysis, recovering both PU components polyol and TDA, and the valorisation of the recycled polyol, recycled isocyanate in flexible polyurethane foam
- The contribution of chemical recycling in achieving a sustainable circular economy, via the PUReSmart technology, plus the opportunities and barriers for scale-up: a TIS-perspective on innovation for chemical recycling of flexible PU foam.
Date: 01 December, 09h to 16h
Place: Recticel/Recticel Engineered Foams (Damstraat 2/B-9230 Wetteren, Belgium)
In order to ensure a well-organized event, free upfront registration (and acceptance of your attendance afterwards) is mandatory by 21 November 2022 at the latest. Due to the room capacity, we can welcome 50-60 invitees.
