Description:

Subproject 2-06 is focused on the practical verification of the newly developed method of processing of waste cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) into the products with high-utility value (oils and high-calorific gas), which will allow efficient use of this waste plastic, which must no longer be disposed by incineration. The results of the solution can be further used for the processing of other problematic plastics or plastic mixtures.
