Result description
Two optimized debromination processes to remove hazardous brominated flame retardants from plastics, supporting safe material recovery from WEEE and ELVs
- Grants and Subsidies
- Help in technical expertise
- Collaboration
We are looking for industrial partners interested in testing and optimizing the debromination process at scale. Collaboration is sought with recyclers, chemical engineers, and facilities handling brominated flame retardants in plastics. Support from innovation funding bodies or commercial investors would also help scale the solution for broader market adoption.
- Public or private funding institutions
- Research and Technology Organisations
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The debromination process is at TRL 6-7 and MRL 5. It has been technologically validated and engaged with early markets, though commercial implementation is pending. We seek both private investors and public innovation agencies to fund industrial-scale pilots and accelerate commercial readiness.
Yes, with industrial investment, the process can be scaled to medium and large recycling facilities.
Yes, the chemical process can be replicated with proper infrastructure and safety protocols.
Yes, the process enhances material safety and regulatory compliance, aligning with environmental protection policies.
