Overview

Landcinerate Prevented™ Materials:
A Sustainable Solution for the Future

The Landcinerate Prevented™ project is revolutionising the recycling of materials that typically end up in landfills or are incinerated. This initiative focuses on two key materials: Chrome ABS and Sink Fraction Plastics. Both materials present significant challenges for recycling due to their complex structures. However, with innovative processes and technologies, they can be diverted from waste streams and repurposed for various industrial applications, supporting environmental sustainability and economic growth.

Why Choose Recycled Materials?

Reduction in Landfill Waste
By recycling complex plastics, we reduce pressure on landfills and help preserve the environment.

Lower Carbon Footprint
Recycling plastics rather than producing virgin materials significantly cuts greenhouse gas emissions.

Cost Savings
Businesses can lower costs by using recycled materials without compromising quality or functionality.

Market Leadership
Adopting sustainable practices enhances a company’s reputation and strengthens its position in the market.

Chrome ABS Recycling: No Chrome Removal Required​

What is Chrome ABS?

Chrome-plated ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is widely used in automotive parts such as badges, trims, and emblems. These materials are notoriously difficult to recycle due to their chrome coating, which traditionally needed to be removed before recycling could begin.

The Innovation

The Chrome ABS Recycling process developed under the Landcinerate Prevented™ project introduces a breakthrough compatibiliser that allows the material to be recycled without stripping the chrome layer. This simplifies the recycling process, making it both more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly.

Key Features

Closed-Loop System

The Chrome ABS Recycling process developed under the Landcinerate Prevented™ project introduces a breakthrough compatibiliser that allows the material to be recycled without stripping the chrome layer. This simplifies the recycling process, making it both more cost-effective and more environmentally friendly.

High Mechanical Integrity

Despite being recycled, the material retains its essential mechanical properties, ensuring durability and quality for end products.

Sustainability in Action

The process reduces the need for virgin plastics, supporting a more circular economy.

Application Areas

Automotive Components

Ideal for badges, emblems, and trims.

Other Industries

Can be extended to any application requiring durable, chrome-plated ABS plastics.

What are Sink Fraction Plastics?
Sink Fraction Plastics: Making the Unrecyclable, Recyclable

Sink fraction plastics are the complex, mixed plastics found in general waste streams that are difficult to separate for recycling. These typically end up being incinerated or buried in landfills due to their composition.

The Innovation

Sink fraction plastics are the complex, mixed plastics found in general waste streams that are difficult to separate for recycling. These typically end up being incinerated or buried in landfills due to their composition.

Key Features

Multi-Plastic Compatibility

The compatibiliser can handle various plastics that traditional recycling methods struggle with.

Broader Market Applications

The recycled materials can be utilised in industries such as construction, packaging, and even automotive manufacturing.

Environmental Impact

By preventing these plastics from being incinerated or sent to landfills, the process significantly reduces environmental harm.

Application Areas

Construction Materials

Recycled sink fraction plastics can be used to manufacture durable building components.

Packaging

The material can also be formed into eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Automotive Components

As the automotive industry shifts towards sustainable practices, recycled plastics can be incorporated into non-structural car parts.

Why This Matters

Sink fraction plastics are the complex, mixed plastics found in general waste streams that are difficult to separate for recycling. These typically end up being incinerated or buried in landfills due to their composition.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations

Many countries, including the UK, are tightening regulations on waste management and carbon emissions. Using recycled plastics such as Chrome ABS and Sink Fraction Plastics can help businesses meet these requirements.

Consumer Demand

Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases. Businesses that incorporate recycled materials into their products can appeal to this growing market segment.
