Title: Controlled Closed Loop Recycling for Life-Cycle Optimised Industrial Production

Project acronym: CONCLORE

Contract No.: 013871

The European project CONCLORE will develop a sustainable system for manufacturing a 100%-recyclable car interior product, recovering it at the end of the useful life of the vehicle and recycling it either for reuse within the automotive industry or for other applications. Developing a single-component thermoplastic sandwich-structure and utilising Product Embedded Identification (PEID) CONCLORE will guarantee continuous quality of recovered material and define a new state of the art by establishing an advanced recycling model called Controlled Closed Loop Recycling (CCLR), integrating Reverse and Forward Supply Chain Management (SCM) geared towards 100% material recovery.
