A manual produced by Partners for Innovation in collaboration with Philips, which contains background information and design guidelines for products that can be produced with the use of recyclate.

This manual is the result of a project carried out by Partners for Innovation in collaboration with Philips. The project was commissioned by The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Dutch Federation of Rubber and Plastics Industry (NRK). The objective of the project was to provide and share information of frontrunners in the field of the use of recyclate in injection-molded products. This manual provides background information about the whole process, from the strategic decision to use recyclate, to communicating with consumers. In addition, the manual contains practical design guidelines for products that can be produced with the uses of recyclate, illustrated with practical examples.
