Project Details
Description
The objective of the PlastiCity project is to develop replicable strategies and solutions that are able to increase recycling rates in urban environments from 20-30% to over 50% by unlocking the use of ‘lost plastics’ as secondary resources from the urban environment. Additional objectives are:
-Develop technical strategies for (reverse) logistics and reprocessing.
-Inducing behavioural change and creating capacity of stakeholders such as local governments and companies through urban platforms.
-Demonstrate this in 4 case study cities in the 2Seas area (Ghent (BE), Den Haag (NL), Southend On Sea (UK) and Douai (FR)).
-Creating new value chains and designing new products, amongst others by unlocking the full potential of ‘medium’ size actors (SME’s, offices, retail, schools, etc.).
-Deploy a mobile unit for testing, demonstration and sensitisation.
-Create business activity and employment in the circular economy (100-400 jobs).
