Vortragsinfos

The Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance has been researching new methods and products for the circular economy for many years. As part of the masterclass, the speakers provide insights into the Fraunhofer CIRCONOMY® Hub “material cycles in the construction sector”, as well as into new material developments using deconstruction materials, and new methods for sorting and processing for the reuse of recovered raw materials. Additionally, a contribution is dedicated to the identification and new innovative solutions for dealing with critical substances from the past such as wood preservatives, asbestos, or tar, that must be eliminated from the material cycle to prevent their transfer into subsequent life cycles.

Fraunhofer CCPE: Environmental assessment of circular plastics

 Format: Masterclass

 Sprache: English

Speaker

Dr. Markus Hiebel

Abteilungsleiter Nachhaltigkeit und Partizipation
Fraunhofer UMSICHT

Dr. Anna Kerps

Applied researcher
Fraunhofer UMSICHT

Dr. Andreas Mäurer

Abteilungsleiter Verfahrensentwicklung Polymer-Recycling
Fraunhofer IVV

Vortragsinfos

Life cycle assessments are often used as a basis for decision-making when selecting environmentally friendly processes, materials or services, particularly with regard to plastics recycling. The researchers at Fraunhofer CCPE have identified ten challenges in the LCA-modelling of recycled plastics, which will be discussed in this masterclass using the example of solvent-based plastic recycling. Learn about requirements and approaches for transparent and comparable modelling of material recycling technologies. You can also bring your questions on the topic and find out what you need to look out for in a comparative environmental assessment of circular plastics.

16:30 - 17:30 Uhr
