DECOAT
Recycling of coated and painted textile and plastic materials
The main goal of DECOAT is to enable circular use of textiles and plastic parts with (multilayer) ‘coatings’, which are typically not recyclable yet. These ‘coatings’ comprise functional and performance coatings and paints as well as adhesion layers. Therefore, novel triggerable smart polymer material systems and the corresponding recycling processes will be developed. The triggerable solutions will be based on smart additives (like microcapsules or microwave triggered additives) for the ‘coating’ formulations that will be activated by a specific trigger (heat,humidity, microwave, chemical).
Kick off meeting

Kick off meeting of DECOAT was held in Brussels, Belgium 20-21 Febrary 2019
Partners

From inspiration to cooperation. The DECOAT consortium consists of the 17 partners.
