From primary and secondary resources to mineral processing, from substitution of raw materials and their efficient use to waste recovery and closed loop recycling management
The International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3) is hosting its 4th virtual Investor Forum on November 9th and November 10th, 2022.

Diskutiert werden sollen Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten zur Schließung von Kreisläufen für Metalle, Batterien und Kunststoffe sowie Fragestellungen...
The aim of the new position paper "Waste Incineration in the Future" is to create a factually sound basis for the discussion on the future role of thermal waste treatment in the Circular Economy.
The ISC3 Innovation Challenge in Sustainable Chemistry and Waste: Prevention, Valorisation & Management has started. Contest applications will be accepted until April 19, 2022.
The BMBF-funded research and development programme ‘Technologies for Sustainability and Climate Protection – Chemical Processes and Use of CO2’ ran from 2010 to the end of 2016 and covered the following main areas: ‘Using CO2 as a feedstock for the chemical industry’, ‘Chemical energy storage’ and ‘Energy-efficient processes’. Each of these main areas is accompanied in this final report by a review article that pro-vides a comprehensive overview of the topic. The 33 projects that received funding have been classified into these three main areas or clusters. A short article has been provided for each research project and focuses on presenting the central results of the project. In the ‘Energy-efficient processes’ cluster, the review article, which covers the subject of carbon capture, serves as an example of the very diverse range of projects grouped in this part of the report.
The BMBF funding measure "Resource Efficient Urban Districts for the Future (RES:Z)" promotes the research, development and testing of implementation-oriented concepts for water manage-ment, land use and material flow management in the area of urban districts as part of the flagship initiative Future City. The programme is flanked by the scientific cross-sectional project ReQ+, which aims to horizontally network, analyse and synthesise the research results from the collabora-tive projects of the RES:Z funding measure and represent their scientific contributions to the goals of the German Sustainability Strategy. ReQ+ thus supports the utilisation of the results, especially their implementation in municipal practice in cities and municipalities.
Das BMBF-Pilotvorhaben KUBA - Nachhaltige Kunststoffwertschöpfungskette: Pilotfall Kunststoffe in Bauwirtschaft und Gebäuden hat die Entwicklung eines Konzeptes zur nachhaltigen Kreislaufführung von Kunststoffen aus der Bauwirtschaft und Gebäuden zum Ziel. Unter Betrachtung und Einbeziehung der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette werden in KUBA grundlegende Daten zu Kunststoffen im Baubestand, Stoffströmen aus der Bauwirtschaft sowie zu Prozessketten zur Erfassung und Sammlung, Rückführlogistik und der Sortierung gemischter Bauabfälle erhoben. Darüber hinaus werden die Aufbereitung und Verfahren zur rohstofflichen Verwertung von Wärmedämmverbundsystemen untersucht. Alle erfassten Daten und Ergebnisse werden anschließend bezüglich grundsätzlicher Aspekte zur Nachhaltigkeit und der wirtschaftlichen Umsetzbarkeit bewertet.
