Wertschöpfungspotenziale der Zirkularität: Chancen für Innovationen, Effizienz und Ressourcensicherung

The circular economy is not only ecologically necessary, but also offers economic advantages in light of global competition for resources. Waste contains significant quantities of valuable raw materials such as building materials, high-tech materials and precious metals. What opportunities does circularity offer and how can products be optimized for reuse and waste minimization? Innovative technologies, developed from the idea to the application in cooperation between applied research and industry, are key to addressing ecological challenges and securing access to valuable resources.
