PIN Flame Retardants and Recycling

Fire safety is an essential prerequisite for societal use of advanced materials, for example in renewable energy, batteries and information technologies, or for green materials such as wood, natural fibres or recycled cellulose insulation materials.
Flame retardants are designed to durably provide fire safety throughout products’ lifetimes, which can be decades for construction materials. They should also be compatible with safe recycling at the end of this lifetime.
