From the need to valorise residues from the incineration of PPE's and gel dispenser packaging, the opportunity arose to develop a product with the concept "From COVID problem to COVID solution" oriented towards circular economy. Thus, it is intended to develop a reusable dispenser from incineration waste for daily personal and professional use (restaurants, hospitals, among others). This dispenser has the capacity to store two different liquids at the same time: one of the reservoirs contains the disinfectant gel and the other reservoir a moisturizing cream to combat dehydration of the hands resulting from the intensification of the use of the disinfectant / hand washing.
Goals
The Waste_Covid_Dispenser project aims to develop a reusable dispenser, based on a biopolymer reinforced with slag residues (residues from the incineration process).
Innovation
In order to achieve the planned objective, the project takes into consideration the elaboration of a specifications with the identification of the application requirements; development of a reinforced biopolymer with up to 70% slag residue; development of a product line for individual use (up to 100 ml) and for collective use (up to 500 ml); and validation and certification of the product on the market.
Datasheet
The Waste_Covid_Dispenser project is promoted by the company Givaware, Lda.
