1.HistoryandAnalysisoftheProject
The main goal of the Project RECYCLED‐PVB is the design and development of a demonstra ve pilot plant for the recycling of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) proceeding from laminated glass of automo ve and construc on sectors, with capacity to treat 20kg/h of PVB.
Project RECYCLED‐PVB started on 1st September 2010 and fi‐nished on 31st August 2013, and, during its execu on, follo‐wing results were achieved:
Development and fine tuning of the demonstra ve pilot plant to recycle PVB, with a treatment capacity of 20kg/h.
Achievement of great knowledge related to processing and purifica on of PVB at pilot scale for its subsequent ex‐trapola on to semi‐industrial scale.
Obtainment of recycled PVB with appropriate technical features to be reused in primary applica ons.
Contribu on to the compliance with the European Direc ‐ve 2000/53/CE, which establishes that before 2015 the percentage of reused and recovered parts of the vehicle must reach at least 95%, with 85% of pieces and materials and 10% of energe c wastes.

During execu on of Project RECYCLED‐PVB, the impact emerged on sectors rela‐
ted to laminated glass was of great relevance and importance, due to the fact
that currently there are no available technologies to cover the logis cs loop of
recycling of this product. Therefore Technological Centre Lurederra will keep on
promo ng ac vi es to disseminate the innova ve recycling technology, whose
effec veness has been demonstrated through the LIFE Programme.
Ini ally the recipients of men oned dissemina on ac vi es will be, mainly, two
groups which have already shown interest in this regard:
Companies related to laminated glass sector: Glass management compa‐
nies and/or companies devoted to the recovery of glass from different sour‐
ces, workshops of windscreens replacement, scraps, companies dedicated
to produce windscreens and/or laminated glass, as well as users of recycled
plas c.
Local Authori es: The Government of Navarre, through the Chief of Waste
Sec on Raúl Salanueva, has shown interest in knowing the developed pilot
plant to recycle PVB, as well as results obtained during recycling tests ac‐
complished. In addi on, they offered their collabora on to expose and pro‐
mote the PVB recycling ac vi es developed in Navarre.
“Demonstrative pilot plant developed and implemented to recycle polyvinyl butyral (PVB) proceeding from laminated glass (automotive and construction sectors), with a treat-
ment capacity of 20 Kg/h”
SWOTAnalysisofRECYCLED‐PVBProject
2.1Objectives
A SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportuni es and Treats) is shown below. It allows a be er assessment of the current situa on and the iden fica on of the objec‐ves for the Communica on Plan a er LIFE.
Weaknesses: Explore a new market so far
unknown for Lurederra. Limited capacity to treat PVB, semi‐authoma c lines. Absence of a windscreen collec on system. Selling Price of PVB.
Treats: Limited possibili es to enter the
produc on market of PVB due to the exis‐ng monopoly (DuPont, Solu a, Kuraray
and Sekisui Chimical). Difficulty to use recycled PVB on the automo ve sector due to its high requirements.
Strengths: The Project is aligned with the European environmental policy and fosters the compliance with the European Direc ‐ve2000/53/CE. Technology demonstrated by tests accomplished on the pilot plant. Worldwide patent belonging to Lurederra “POLYVINYL BUTYRAL RECYCLING METHOD” WO/2009/118426. Interest of local authori‐es in a correct waste management.
Opportuni es: Big amount of PVB was‐
tes derived from glass recycling which are
currently incinerated or transported to
landfills. Capacity to treat PVB proceeding
from windscreens and also from other sour‐
ces in order to obtain high quality recycled
PVB. Lack of technologies on the market
capable of covering the recycling process of
windscreens.

RecyclingPilotPlant
The pilot plant to recyclePVB, located in Los Arcos(Navarre, Spain), is com-posed of three indepen-dent modules, developedforaparticularpurposeofthepuri icationprocessoftheproduct.Thethreemainlinesoftherecycling process of PVBareexplainedbelow::
Module I: Phase of crus-hing the windscreens, re-moving elements whichcan pollute the process(peripheral rubber andcoloured rubber bands)and separation in twostreams: glass and PVBwith impurities such asglass powder, and inalstorage of products obtai-ned.
ModuleII:Phasebasedontechnology developed byTechnological CentreLurederra, in which,throughaseriesofchemi-cal reactions, a materialfree of glass impurities isachievedstartingfromnon-puri ied post-consumerPVB. During this phase awashing and drying pro-cess is also accomplished,so this material is prepa-redforthenextstage.
Module III: During thisphaseapreparationofthelakesofpuri iedPVBpro-ceeding fromModule II isaccomplished. These la-kes are transformed intopelletsofrecycledPVB.
2.2MethodologyMeans and tools that will be used to promote recycling ac vi es which are currently being
developed are:
Maintenance of the website of the project: through this tool numerous contacts have been established along the Project. Therefore this proposed system will be kept in ope‐ra on in order to con nue establishing interes ng contacts.
Dossier with informa ve brochures and Layman Report: during the Project different informa ve brochures have been prepared, as well as a Layman Report. They provide a visión of the recycled ac vity performed, as well as of obtained results.
Demonstra ve visits to the recycling pilot plant of Los Arcos (Navarre): seminars and visits to the recycling plants will be organized to carry out in‐situ demonstra ons of the opera on of the machinery, in order to show the samples of recycled PVB obtained a er the purifica on process.
Transfer of informa on to competent authori es: Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment of Spanish Government will be informed about obtained results by means of the Waste Sec on of the Government of Navarre.
System to collect windscreens: Collabora on with ANTRV and waste managers of the area of Valdizarbe will be established in order to work in the possible implementa on of a system to collect windscreens that allows launching an efficient logis c loop and economically feasible to recycle PVB of ELV‐windscreens.

3.Funding
Resources required to carry out this Communica on Plan a er LIFE of the Project RECYCLED‐PVB (LIFE09/ ENV/ES/000501) will be provided by Technological Centre Lurederra (Coordinator of the Project), although seeking addi onal funding can be considered if the scope excedes ini al es ma ons.
