About the project

INCREACE aims at increasing the uptake of recycled plastics in various products through innovative and interdisciplinary solutions. This goes along the plastics recycling value chain embedded in a systemic framework with a focus on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). By using (in principle) recycled plastics from Electrical and Electronic Waste (WEEE), the INCREACE project will tackle areas where the use of recycled plastics is marginal today.

INCREACE is a project funded by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA) of the European Commision under the Horzion Cluster 4 programme.

About the INCREACE project

The impact and outcomes

The impact of the generated knowledge and results will be scaled up through targeted inputs into standardisation work, policy making and active and inclusive engagement of all relevant stakeholders as actors of the circular plastic transition. By this means, INCREACE will contribute to the EU Plastics Strategy, the first and second Circular Economy Action Plan and the Green Deal which calls for particular action within resource intensive sectors such as electronics and plastics.
