Imagine a digital passport for every plastic part in a car that tells a recycler exactly what it's made of. This project builds a smart system using AI and robots to automatically sort and dismantle old cars. It then uses digital twins to ensure the recycled plastic is high-quality enough to be used in new car parts again.
Automotive plastic waste is difficult to sort and recycle into high-value parts due to a lack of material traceability and inefficient dismantling processes.
A digital platform featuring a Digital Product Passport, AI-driven sorting robotics, and Digital Twins for plastic processing.
If you are a car manufacturer dealing with strict sustainability targets — this project developed an ecoDesign tool and Digital Product Passports that help increase the share of secondary materials in new vehicles.
If you are a scrapyard operator dealing with inefficient manual sorting — this project developed AI and robotics for detection and dismantling that helps achieve 100% sorting efficiency.
If you are a plastic producer dealing with inconsistent recycled feedstock quality — this project developed Digital Twins for extrusion and injection moulding to optimize the upcycling process.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the platform.
Yes, the project specifies that technologies will be demonstrated, tested, and validated in large-scale facilities.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project involves a consortium of 17 partners.
The project implements Blockchain-based Digital Product Passports (DPP) to ensure traceability and high sorting efficiency for automotive plastics.
The project period runs from 2025-06-01 to 2028-05-31, suggesting availability toward the end of this window.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 65% industry ratio, comprising 11 industrial partners and 5 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 4 universities and 1 research center across 3 countries (IT, TR, UK), indicates a high focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure theory.
