Effective Removal of Microplastics from the Environment and Their Further Utilization

Project Duration: July 1, 2025 – December 31, 2028

Lead Organization: ASIO TECH, spol. s r.o.

Project Objective:
To develop microplastic capture technologies and quantify the effectiveness of these technologies with added value such as LCA analyses and the reprocessing of separated microplastics into new products (more details here).

Planned Outputs:

Ztech: Verified technology for physical separation of microplastics from wastewater (December 2028)
Ztech: Verified technology for combined biochemical and physical separation of microplastics from wastewater (December 2028)
Ztech: Verified technology for model emission of microfibers (December 2028)
Gfunk: Composite based on separated microplastics (December 2027)
Fuzit: Composition of a thermoplastic composite system based on microplastics and its preparation method (December 2028)
