Objective
OpenLOOP is delivering a novel chemical recycling technology that:-Can be used to degrade any mixture and blend of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic and CELLULOSE waste.-As a final output yields high-value feedstock: 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural), LA (Levulinic acid) H2 (hydrogen) and rTA (recycled Terephthalic Acid).-Is clean and can be successfully implemented in industrial environment.The OpenLOOP technology consists of several IOSs proprietary processing steps involving chemical procedures: enzymatic hydrolysis to separate PET and CELLULOSE, neutral hydrolysis to depolymerise PET, rTA purification, dehydration to extract 5-HMF and finally, 5-HMF and LA purification. In the OpenLOOP project we intend to mature the technology, integrate it into industrial environment IOSs DEMO plant, automate procedures to make them safe and simple to operate, validate it, engineer process steps to deliver optimal productivity, design commercial packages, develop the supply chain
