Six Fraunhofer Institutes, commissioned by the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, are using the example of plastics to investigate how the sustainable transformation of an entire value chain can be achieved in accordance with the principles of the circular economy. As part of their research, they are also analyzing and taking into account the economic and social impacts of a circular plastics economy over the coming decades. The participating institutes are:
Meet Fraunhofer ICT, bringing its expertise in recycling technologies, polymer processing, lightweight materials and circular product development to the Fraunhofer CCPE.
Meet Fraunhofer IVV, bringing its expertise in packaging, recycling and process engineering to the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE.
