Vision Selected plastics Collected mixed plastics Treatment / decontamination Optimization Sterilisation control Separation Analyses / quality control New product 3
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

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
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%
