The Plooto Project

A Circular and Resilient Information System (CRIS) that enables waste reduction and end-to-end traceability of SRMs through interconnected digital services for real-time decision making, monitoring and certification of materials and products, relying upon a digital transformation strategy pertinent to process industries.

The constantly increasing demand for scarce resources and critical raw materials (CRMs) requires efficient usage of resources – reuse and recycling of materials- and responsible waste management and prevention. Plooto aims to deliver a Circular and Resilient Information System (CRIS) to support manufacturers in their green, digital and circular transition. CRIS enables waste reduction and end-to-end traceability of Secondary Raw Materials (SRM) through interconnected digital services for real-time decision-making, monitoring and certification of materials and products. The solution will be piloted in three different circular supply chains demonstrating waste reduction, reusability of scrap and production by-products, and operational improvement.

The Plooto Pilots

Cirtus Waste Processing

The Citrus processing waste for juice by-products pilot uses the waste from the production of orange juice to recover EO and then produce by-products such as animal feed, high quality molasses for food industry, and d-Limonene for cosmetic industry.

CFRP Waste for Drones

The CFRP waste for Drones pilot aims to use CFRP waste from the production of new composite materials to be re-used in the production of drones in the value chain

WEEE for Magnets

The WEEE for Magnets pilot uses WEEE to extract PMs (bonded NdFeb and Sr-ferrite, and sintered Sr-ferrite) which are used (as SRMs) in the production of new magnets, aiming to increase their usage
