In relation to the epidemiological trend of the Coronavirus infection and the consequent provisions of the Government, Local Authorities and Universities and the operational indications for the CNR structures, we are forced to postpone the Conference scheduled for February 26, 2020 relating to the project Molding in Rome at the CNR headquarters.
The final conference of the PLASMARE project will be held on Wednesday 26 February 2020 from 09:00 at the Sala Marconi of the CNR, Piazzale Aldo Moro 7, in Rome.
The PLASMARE project - PLASTICS for new materials through an eco-sustainable recycling - funded by the Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of the Territory and the Sea aims to identify a sustainable process for the management of household waste consisting of hard non-packaging plastics, currently disposed of in landfill, reducing its impact on the environment and promoting the eco-design of new products.
Currently the separate collection of plastic concerns solo The packaging. However, there are a number of plastic products on the market that are not yet recyclable. The Plasmare project aims to study and implement a sustainable recycling technique for these products (which are composed of so-called "hard" plastics) and to identify a correct supply chain for disposal.
Among the products still not recyclable today, we find commonly used objects (packages for "blister" tablets, detergent containers, CD cases), household items (tupperware-type containers, water bottles, cutlery, doormats, brooms, hangers), and toys various kinds.
