  • Online-Event Fraunhofer CCPE compact / 2023

    Recyclates in primary material quality - Status and perspectives of advanced recycling

    Press Release / March 08, 2023

    Recycled plastics could already be used to a much greater extent. However, this requires more high-quality recyclates on the market. And these do not only come from material recycling. This is exactly the topic that the next Fraunhofer CCPE compact will address on May 4, 2023, under the motto "Recyclates in Primary Material Quality - Status and Perspectives of Advanced Recycling".

    CANCELLED: First international Fraunhofer CCPE Summit for a circular plastics economy

    Press Release / December 07, 2022

    Under the motto "Get into the loop", an international circular economy community will meet for the first time in Munich on February 8 and 9, 2023, at the Fraunhofer CCPE Summit under the leadership of UMSICHT Institute Director Prof. Manfred Renner. It is the starting signal for an international forum that promotes the exchange of solution ideas and innovations for a circular plastics economy. Program details and a registration form can be found on the website of Fraunhofer CCPE. For about four years, six Fraunhofer institutes have been dedicated in the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE to the question of how the value chain of plastics can be made circular.

  • Fraunhofer CCPE at the K trade fair / 2022

    Sustainable plastic packaging, cascading recycling or the degradation behavior of films

    Press release / September 27, 2022

    Since 2018, Fraunhofer CCPE has been researching how the plastics value chain can become circular. At the K trade fair from October 19 to 26, Fraunhofer CCPE will present promising developments for a successful transformation from a linear to a circular plastics economy. In Hall 7, booth number 70SC01-3, interested parties can learn more about, for example, the web-based self-check tool CRL® , a sustainable reusable transport box, cascading recycling, circular product design or the degradation behavior of films.

    More than 350 million tons of plastic are produced worldwide every year, and vast amounts of plastic waste simply end up in the environment. The circular economy offers enormous potential for keeping plastics in the loop and thus conserving resources and the environment. Since 2018, six Fraunhofer institutes in the Fraunhofer CCPE cluster have been researching how to make the plastics value chain circular, and Prof. Manfred Renner has been the new head of the cluster since August 2022. Research results, implementation projects and strategies to accelerate the transformation to a circular plastics economy will be presented by Fraunhofer CCPE at the first international Fraunhofer CCPE Summit on February 8 and 9, 2023 in Munich.
