4 Goal/Mål: Vårt långsiktiga mål är att avsevärt öka plaståtervinningen inom sjukvården. Vår idé bygger på att använda och vidareutveckla lämpliga förbehandlingsmetoder som kan omvandla brännbar restfraktion till en riskfri fraktion som därefter kan hanteras som ett vanligt kommunalt avfall där plasten kan återvinnas. Plastprodukter från sjukhus t.ex. Golvplattor X Brännbar fraktion Mekanisk återvinning till en annan produkt Förbehandlingsprocess 4

5 Arbetspaket (WP) WP1 - Project management, administration and coordination WP2 - Optimization and evaluation of pre-treatment methods on the sterilization rate and risk assessment, WP3 - Separation and evaluation of different plastics fractions WP4 - Mechanical recycling and quality evaluation, WP5 - Environmental impact, resource assessment and economics, WP6 - Communication and dissemination Nazdaneh Yarahmadi, Jonas Enebro,Ignacy Jakubowicz, Henrik Petersen, Anders Höije, Anna Fråne, Nils Hannerz

9 Separation and evaluation of selected plastic fractions Aim: Investigate potential impact from pretreatmenton selected plastic products/materials Pretretment Hydrothermal Ozone Impact from pretreatment PE-products Aprons PP-products Syringes, medical cups PVC-products Vinyl gloves Analyses Stabilisation (OIT) Oxidation (FTIR) Mechanical properties Degradation of polymer - Visual +FTIR Degradation of plasticiser - GC-MS 9

10 Evaluation of selected plastic fractions at Laboratory Aim: Investigate potential impact from pre-treatment on selected plastic products/materials Analyses (from Pretreatment+ melt pressed ) Stabilisation (OIT) Oxidation (FTIR) Degradation of polymer - Visual +FTIR Degrad. of plasticiser - GC-MS PP & PE: No indication of stabilizer loss /consumption PP & PE: No indication of thermal degradation PVC: No indication of degradation PVC Gloves: Indication of lost of plasticizers about 20%

11 Large scale trials Products and retailers (US) Enough for 30 kg output? Product preparation Unpacking etc. RedBag process Product preparation Unpacking etc. Ozonator process Health Care Logistics Inc. Eight fractions of plastic (2xPP, PE, PVC) > 30kg each Ansell Healthcare Products LLC PE-fractions & PVC-fractions Quality Recyclability Value (?) Potential use Additional quality tests Compounding trials (e.g. mixing of pure PP-fractions Four fractions of PP > 30kg each Usability/ demand for recycled plastic fractions! Products from recycled materials Bergo Flooring och Tarkett PP-materials and PVC Min. 25 kg Granules or flakes Evaluations (product) 11

12 Hållbarhetsutvärdering, Utvärdera förbehandlingsmetoderna utifrån -miljö -ekonomi - sociala aspekter Genom att Sätta upp realistiska scenarion för hur utvalda produktgrupper kan tas omhand och förbehandlas Använda livscykelanalys, kostnadsdata och intervjuer
