Monomaterial

Closed material cycles with one material

At a time when environmental protection and the circular economy are becoming increasingly important, many companies are asking themselves: How can we develop sustainable solutions that are both functional and resource-efficient?

At Fraunhofer CCPE, we offer innovative approaches such as monomaterial construction, which enables efficient material cycles and offers numerous advantages, including complete recyclability and a lower carbon footprint.

Monomaterial – The key to the circular economy

Products made from a mono-material enable closed and efficient material cycles. As a result, they are shaping the future of sustainable design and engineering. 

 

Demonstrator "Child seat"

In a circular economy, products are kept in circulation for as long as possible and used as intensively as feasible by consumers. At the end of their life, they are recycled as completely as it is possible so that new products can be made from the materials.

 

Demonstrator “Transport Box”

Concept for a reusable transport box for food shipping that meets strict requirements for cold chains and sustainability and integrates modern technologies.
