Online seminar: NONTOX – Improving circularity of hazardous plastics

NONTOX project

This seminar focuses on ecodesign guidelines to promote circularity of hazardous plastics in e-waste, EoL vehicles, and construction waste.

In this seminar, we showcase the work of the NONTOX project, starting from the current challenges in recycling, to propose ecodesign guidelines and recommendations for several actors along the value chain, presenting also opportunities and examples of best practice.<h3>From our NONTOX team you will meet:</h3><ul><li>Hille Rautkoski, Senior Scientist at <a href="https://www.vttresearch.com/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">VTT</a> – Project introduction and welcome (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6cO2V0pFebn_JpgD0JYwcnN5ODI85hy/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PDF-file, 1.8 MB</a>)</li><li>Tatu Marttila, Researcher, lecturer at <a href="https://www.aalto.fi/en/school-of-arts-design-and-architecture" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Aalto University</a> (ARTS Design INUSE/NODUS) – Ecodesign guidelines (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dQ2PtXjr1VN3asl9XOUEimWDST5v1-jn/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PDF-file, 3.1 MB</a>)</li><li>Malin zu Castell-Rüdenhausen, Senior Scientist at <a href="https://www.vttresearch.com/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">VTT</a> (Industrial Circular Economy) – Recommendations for action (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dLJoWeZYOnAzIaITmEt9-4o1TuwGW-jG/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PDF-file, 2.4 MB</a>)</li></ul><h3></h3><h3>Schedule</h3>The seminar will be held - online - on Monday 19th September 2022.From 13:00 to 14:30 EEST; from 12:00 to 13:30 CEST.<h3></h3><h3>What&#x27;s next?​</h3>The online Zoom link will be made available to registrants prior to the seminar.Sign up to the seminar and you will be sent a link to the online event a couple of days before the seminar.<h3>Who should participate?</h3>The seminar is targeted towards designers, industry professionals, product developers, polymer engineers, plastics recyclers, environmental managers, researchers. Anyone, who is working in the field of electric and electronic products, vehicles, construction and demolition sectors and is curious about the potential of circular product development with more sustainable plastics.<h3>Who are we?</h3>NONTOX (2019-2022) is an EU Horizon 2020 project that studies technological and economic possibilities to increase the recycling of hazardous plastics in Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV), and Construction and Demolition Waste sector (CDW).To know more about the project, please visit <a href="http://nontox-project.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">NONTOX website</a> and follow us on Facebook (@nontoxproject), LinkedIn (@NONTOX EU Project) and Twitter (@NontoxProject).The seminar is organized with the initative of the Aalto University - Designs for a Cooler Planet 2022 .
