EcoPlasBrick objectives
- To promote an innovative, eco-sustainable and more environmentally friendly recycled plastic-based panel for the building industry, using as raw material scrap resulting from sorting plastic waste, coming from both solid urban and industrial/agricultural/commercial waste.
- To develop a sizeable European market for this new, eco-sustainable building product, initially focusing on the segments of elevated floors and ventilated facades.
KICK-OFF MEETING - Brindisi 21 July 2011
EcoPlasBrick
- Availability to building market of environmentally friendly recycled products able to compete with the traditional ones in terms of mechanical and aesthetical properties
EcoPlasBrick expected results
- A reduction in the unsorted plastic wastes destined to landfill and incineration and a corresponding increase in the volume sent to mechanical recycling
- Creation of partnerships among European industries
Raw material suppliers
Panel producers
Builders End users

Potential market
Given the ETS (EU Emissions Trading Scheme) proposal for a 20% abatement of CO2 emissions by 2020, growth opportunities for industries in the following areas will arise:- Use of renewable resources in construction and manufacturing - high market potential;-Resource saving and waste minimizing production processes, involving technologies for process measurement and control - very high market potential.
The production capacity of the new production line of MOTULAB will be 12,000 panels/year. However, the aim is to reach a production of 250.000 tons/year (by the involvement of other plastic panel producers not part of the project) at the end of the project, that represents approximately a 2% market share in EU27

EcoPlasBrick technical description
The innovative idea promoted by this project, is to use mixed plastic waste as the core of a sandwich panel with a gres face-
sheet (skins) on both sides.The panel will be obtained using the
compression moulding process tested during the preparatory research activities already
carried out. The process foresees only a rough grinding of non-washed plastic waste (2/3 cm sized against the 4/8 mm normally
requested by other processes).

EcoPlasBrick technical description
Advantages introduced by EcoPlasBrick solution
Compared to its competitors, building products made of recycled plastic panels using the “ECOPLASBRICK” technology have several advantages:
- the core of the panels is made of mixed plastic waste, a zero cost raw material,
- the process does not foresee the presence of resins or glues, - easy to handle,- resistant and durable,- Recycled and recyclable

commercial or project purpose or for internal matters• The average number of productive hours observed is 147
hours per month, with a lower limit of 130 hours per month• The EACI will review rate calculations on this basis
The number of hours declared must reflect the work that has been done. The labour rate reflects the economic conditions prevailing forthe beneficiary.

Work Package 4
Environmental compatibility analysis
The environmental compatibility analysis, based on an LCA analysis, will aim at assessing the entire product/process.
Overall objective of the work package is to evaluate the applicability for the Eco-label and/or for an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
Activities will begin from an up-to-date analysis of the current Product Groups and related Criteria for the award of the Eco-label and of Product Categories and related Product Category Rules (PCR) for EPD.
The LCA analysis will then be conducted keeping in mind both the product group criteria and the PCR, for the definition of the goals and scope and for the impact assessment and interpretation of the analysis’s results. The last step will be the production of technical documents needed to support the application for the ECO-label certification and/or for the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), sub-contractors (to be identified) will be hired to support the WP leader in these tasks.
Duration: month 1 to month 36

The aim of this task is to produce the requested technical documentation to support the application for the award of the Eco-label and/or for the production of Environmental Product Declaration. Such documentation will be in accordance with the results of the previous tasks, and based on the existing Product Categories for the EPD and Product Groups for Eco-label.
The results of the present task will be the:Product related information;Environmental performance related information;Additional environmental information.
The activities will be carried out complying to the ISO standards, in particular:- ISO 14024 Type I environmental labelling – Principles and procedures for the Eco-label ;- ISO 14025 Environmental labels and declarations – Type III - ISO 21930 Sustainability in building construction - Environmental declaration of
building products for the Environmental Product Declaration .
In case the proposed solution should not fit the existing Product Categories for the Environmental Product Declaration (Type III) or the Product Groups for Eco-label (Type I), activities will focus on the production of a Type II Environmental Label according to the standard:
ISO 14021 Environmental labels and declarations – Self-declared environmental claims (Type
