Fraunhofer CCPE compact: Foams for a Circular Economy – Powered by Renewable Carbon

How can foams be made more sustainable and integrated into a functioning circular economy? Under the title “Foams for a Circular Economy – Powered by Renewable Carbon,” the next issue of Fraunhofer CCPE compact, to be published on January 20, 2027, will explore innovative approaches to bio-based foams and recycled foams. The focus will be on bio-based polymers as the polymers of the future, new applications such as foams for food packaging, as well as challenges in recycling and current regulatory requirements, particularly in the context of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

Experts will provide insights into current developments and discuss prospects for circular foam solutions based on renewable carbon. The online event offers an opportunity for professional exchange on technologies, applications, and challenges on the path toward a circular plastics economy.
