Communication Plan after Life

LIFE09/ ENV/ES/000501

1.HistoryandAnalysisoftheProject 

The main goal of the Project RECYCLED‐PVB is the design and development of a  demonstra ve pilot plant for the recycling of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) proceeding from laminated glass of automo ve  and  construc on  sectors, with  capacity  to  treat 20kg/h of PVB.  

 

Project RECYCLED‐PVB started on 1st September 2010 and fi‐nished on 31st August 2013, and, during  its execu on,  follo‐wing results were achieved:  

Development  and  fine  tuning  of  the  demonstra ve  pilot plant to recycle PVB, with a treatment capacity of 20kg/h. 

 

Achievement  of  great  knowledge  related  to  processing and purifica on of PVB at pilot scale for its subsequent ex‐trapola on to semi‐industrial scale. 

 

Obtainment  of  recycled  PVB  with  appropriate  technical features to be reused in primary applica ons. 

 

Contribu on to the compliance with the European Direc ‐ve  2000/53/CE,  which  establishes  that  before  2015  the percentage of  reused  and  recovered parts of  the  vehicle must reach at least 95%, with 85% of pieces and materials and 10% of energe c wastes.

EuropeanDirective2000/53/CE

ObjectivesCurrent Directive establishes, as aprioritymatter,measurestopreventwastes proceeding from vehiclesand, in addition, to reuse, recycleand other ways of valorization ofvehiclesand their componentsafterthe end of their useful life, in ordertoreducetheremovalofwastesandto improve the ef icacy of the envi-ronmental protection of every eco-nomical agent involved in the lifecycleofvehicles, andparticularlyofthose directly involved in the treat-ment of vehicles at the end of theirusefullife.Before 2015 the percentage of thevehicle to be reused and recoveredshouldbeatleastof95%,with85%ofpiecesandmaterialsanda10%ofenergeticwastes.

During execu on of Project RECYCLED‐PVB, the impact emerged on sectors rela‐

ted  to  laminated glass was of great  relevance and  importance, due  to  the  fact 

that currently there are no available  technologies  to cover  the  logis cs  loop of 

recycling of this product. Therefore Technological Centre Lurederra will keep on 

promo ng ac vi es  to disseminate  the  innova ve  recycling  technology, whose 

effec veness has been demonstrated through the LIFE Programme. 

Ini ally the recipients of men oned dissemina on ac vi es will be, mainly, two 

groups which have already shown interest in this regard: 

Companies  related  to  laminated glass  sector:   Glass management compa‐

nies and/or companies devoted to the recovery of glass from different sour‐

ces, workshops of windscreens  replacement,  scraps,  companies dedicated 

to produce windscreens and/or laminated glass, as well as users of recycled 

plas c. 

Local Authori es: The Government of Navarre, through the Chief of Waste 

Sec on Raúl Salanueva, has shown  interest  in knowing the developed pilot 

plant  to  recycle PVB, as well as  results obtained during  recycling  tests ac‐

complished. In addi on, they offered their collabora on to expose and pro‐

mote the PVB recycling ac vi es developed in Navarre. 

“Demonstrative pilot plant developed and implemented to recycle polyvinyl butyral (PVB) proceeding from laminated glass (automotive and construction sectors), with a treat-

ment capacity of 20 Kg/h”

SWOTAnalysisofRECYCLED‐PVBProject

2.1Objectives

A  SWOT  analysis  (Strengths,  Weaknesses, Opportuni es and Treats)    is shown below. It allows a be er assessment of the current situa on and the iden fica on of the objec‐ves for the Communica on Plan a er LIFE. 

 

Weaknesses: Explore a new market so far 

unknown for Lurederra. Limited capacity to treat  PVB,  semi‐authoma c  lines.  Absence of  a  windscreen  collec on  system.  Selling Price of PVB.  

Treats:  Limited  possibili es  to  enter  the  

produc on market of PVB due  to  the exis‐ng  monopoly  (DuPont,  Solu a,  Kuraray 

and  Sekisui  Chimical).  Difficulty  to  use recycled PVB on the automo ve sector due to its high requirements.  

   

Strengths:  The Project is aligned with the European environmental policy and  fosters the  compliance with  the  European Direc ‐ve2000/53/CE.  Technology  demonstrated by  tests  accomplished  on  the  pilot  plant.  Worldwide  patent  belonging  to  Lurederra “POLYVINYL BUTYRAL RECYCLING METHOD” WO/2009/118426. Interest of  local authori‐es in a correct waste management. 

 

Opportuni es:  Big amount of PVB was‐

tes  derived  from  glass  recycling which  are 

currently  incinerated  or  transported  to 

landfills.  Capacity  to  treat  PVB  proceeding 

from windscreens and also from other sour‐

ces  in order  to obtain high quality recycled 

PVB.  Lack  of  technologies  on  the  market 

capable of covering the recycling process of 

windscreens.

RecyclingPilotPlant

The pilot plant to recyclePVB, located in Los Arcos(Navarre, Spain), is com-posed of three indepen-dent modules, developedforaparticularpurposeofthepuri icationprocessoftheproduct.Thethreemainlinesoftherecycling process of PVBareexplainedbelow::

Module I: Phase of crus-hing the windscreens, re-moving elements whichcan pollute the process(peripheral rubber andcoloured rubber bands)and separation in twostreams: glass and PVBwith impurities such asglass powder, and inalstorage of products obtai-ned.

ModuleII:Phasebasedontechnology developed byTechnological CentreLurederra, in which,throughaseriesofchemi-cal reactions, a materialfree of glass impurities isachievedstartingfromnon-puri ied post-consumerPVB. During this phase awashing and drying pro-cess is also accomplished,so this material is prepa-redforthenextstage.

Module III: During thisphaseapreparationofthelakesofpuri iedPVBpro-ceeding fromModule II isaccomplished. These la-kes are transformed intopelletsofrecycledPVB.

2.2MethodologyMeans and tools  that will be used to promote recycling ac vi es which are currently being 

developed are: 

Maintenance of the website of the project: through this tool numerous contacts have been established along the Project. Therefore this proposed system will be kept in ope‐ra on in order to con nue establishing interes ng contacts. 

Dossier with  informa ve  brochures  and  Layman Report:  during  the  Project  different informa ve brochures have been prepared, as well as a Layman Report. They provide a visión of the recycled ac vity performed, as well as of obtained results.  

Demonstra ve visits  to  the  recycling pilot plant of Los Arcos  (Navarre): seminars and visits to the recycling plants will be organized to carry out in‐situ demonstra ons of the opera on of  the machinery,  in order  to  show  the  samples of  recycled PVB obtained a er the purifica on process. 

Transfer  of  informa on  to  competent  authori es: Ministry  of  Agriculture,  Food  and Environment of Spanish Government will be informed about obtained results by means of the Waste Sec on of the Government of Navarre. 

System  to collect windscreens: Collabora on with ANTRV and waste managers of  the area of Valdizarbe will be established  in order to work  in the possible  implementa on of a system to collect windscreens that allows  launching an efficient  logis c  loop and economically feasible to recycle PVB of ELV‐windscreens.

3.Funding

Resources required to carry out this Communica on Plan a er LIFE of the Project RECYCLED‐PVB  (LIFE09/  ENV/ES/000501)  will  be  provided  by  Technological  Centre  Lurederra (Coordinator of  the Project), although seeking addi onal  funding can be considered  if  the scope excedes ini al es ma ons.
