ReWaste F – Recycling and Recovery of Waste for Future

ReWaste F

– Recycling & Recovery of Waste for Future

The ReWaste F project

In the FFG-funded COMET – K project “ReWaste4.0”, two scientific and eight corporate partners initiated the ambitious and necessary paradigm shift for the further development of Austrian waste management for non-hazardous, mixed municipal and commercial waste towards Circular Economy 4.0 in 2017.

 

ReWaste F – Recycling and recovery of waste for the future – is the logical, high-quality R&D continuation for 2021 to 2025 – based on comprehensive know-how and results from ReWaste4.0, taking into account current and future developments in waste streams (non-hazardous mixed waste and (bio)plastics contained therein and special waste streams), technologies (machines, sensors, sensor fusion, cameras, etc.) and digitalization (data analysis, intelligent digital “MMM” networking).

ReWaste F consists of an overarching strategic project and three technical areas with six subordinate individual projects. The strategic project is concerned, among other things, with the goal-oriented coordination of progress in all three areas, waste market, technology and digital platform analyses as well as international networking and workshops on plastics recycling and recyclability, data and cyber security, etc. In the six individual projects, waste materials are characterized and their properties and recyclability, etc. are determined. The sorting, processing and recycling of special waste streams (e.g. plastics, wood) from mixed waste is being tested on a large scale in pilot plants and facilities operated by partners.

Statements on ReWaste F & Digital Waste Research Lab

“The new research facility is a technical and digital tool for engineers. It allows us to research completely new fundamentals such as digital, sensor-based waste analysis and sorting technologies. Our cooperation partners from industry also have questions that can only be investigated in a research facility like this.”

“With our tailor-made products and solutions in the areas of circular economy, recycling and digitalization, we support customers and industrial partners worldwide in achieving their sustainability goals. Our central focus is on international research and development at the highest level and driving innovation. With the ReWaste F project and the opening of the Digital Waste Research Lab, the Montanuniversität Leoben has achieved a milestone and we are proud to be one of the cooperation partners, especially since the Lab and our ANDRITZ Recycling Technology Center are at the same location”

“In Styria, we already have a recycling rate of 71% and are therefore among the absolute leaders internationally. Investments in research and demonstration facilities with the highest quality technical solutions, such as the Digital Waste Research Lab, are a guarantee for the further development of resource management in Styria and a significant contribution to climate and environmental protection”

“The great opportunity is for technology companies along the entire circular economy chain and the Montanuniversität to jointly develop new technologies as well as circular and digital solutions in the new research facility. Digitalization needs hardware and the new facility is an important component of the infrastructure network. Projects and partnerships will certainly benefit greatly from this. Long-term cooperation between business and science is the key to success.”
Roland PombergerHead of department, Montanuniversität Leoben
“Digital solutions are a key enabler for the transformation towards a genuine circular economy. Saubermacher has been investing heavily for several years now and, as a leader in waste intelligence, relies heavily on these technologies at all stages of the value chain. For example, we see platforms as the best tool for making optimization potential in waste and resource management transparent and making it measurable.”
Andreas OpeltCOO Saubermacher
“With tailor-made software, AI applications and automation hardware, we are helping to optimize recycling processes. Together with research partners such as the University of Leoben and companies from the recycling industry, we are developing innovative solutions with the aim of making them global standards in the future. This enables us to provide our customers and partners with the best possible support for their digital and green transformation.”

‘As part of our involvement in the Rewaste F research project, the test series are being carried out at the ANDRITZ Recycling Technology Centre (ART Centre) in St. Michael. These include a variety of technical innovations, including our proven ADuro shredder technology, which offers suitable shredding solutions for various tasks.’
Florian LaczkovitsProject Manager Digitalization ANDRITZ Recycling
‘Our vision at EVK is to provide innovative analytics solutions for a sustainable and resource-conscious industry. I am therefore delighted that we have been able to make a significant contribution to the ReWaste F project and future-oriented research in the recycling industry with our hyperspectral cameras and our expertise in data analysis.’
