  • Accompanying and networking project for the BMBF funding measure "Resource-efficient circular economy - plastic recycling technologies (KuRT)"

    The objective of the BMBF funding measure KuRT is to improve the closed-loop recycling of plastics. This is to be achieved through the development of intelligent utilisation concepts, the (further) development of innovative recycling processes (e.g. mechanical, chemical recycling and combined processes) in order to enable a significant increase in the current recycling and reuse rates for plastics, the research and development of new products and processes, and improved logistics and collection. The funding measure aims to further develop model circular economy solutions for important ap-plication areas such as packaging, building products, electrical and electronic equipment, vehicles and commercial waste towards large-scale implementation and practical solutions. The primary goals of the KuRT_Plus accompanying and networking project, which is coordinated by DECHEMA, are the targeted networking of the collaborative projects funded within the framework of the BMBF funding measure KuRT, the analysis and synthesis of the research results from the funded collaborative projects, the presentation of the overarching, scientifically sound contribution of the KuRT funding measure with regard to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (especially SDG 8, 9 and 12), supporting the collaborative projects in the transfer of research results into industrial practice, and the establishment of cross-project public relations work.

  • Market Report: Role of biowaste as essential resource for a growing cirular bio-based economy

    The market assessment details the high relevance and impact of biowaste-derived materials in an expanding bioeconomy and demonstrates how novel value chains and markets are created from biowaste by the CAFIPLA project.

  • METALLICO: Demonstration of battery metals recovery from primary and secondary resources through a sustainable processing methodology

    The main objective of the EU project METALLICO (project start 1 January 2023 with a duration of 48 months) is to reduce the EU's dependency on the volatile market for critical battery metals (Li, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni). For this purpose, five innovative processes for the (re-)extraction of Li, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni from primary and secondary raw material sources will be optimised, further developed and finally demonstrated on an industrially relevant scale (TRL 6-7) in four case studies within the framework of METALLICO. In addition, the processes will also be evaluated in terms of their sustainability. Furthermore, the project will develop a digital (open source) platform in which, on the one hand, primary and secondary battery metal sources will be identified and characterised. On the other hand, digital twins of innovative metal recovery and production plants will enable the simulation of the efficiency as well as the economic, environmental and social impacts of the respective metal. METALLICO will enable industrial companies and public authorities to prioritise and invest in new mining and metal recovery facilities. In this way, significant reserves of new or currently under- or under-utilised resources in the EU can be developed and their availability ensured. The project consists of a consortium of 23 partners from 9 countries, coordinated by IDENER (Spain).
