Sustainable
Transformation of the plastics industry
The industry is currently in the midst of a twin transition – the simultaneous change to a digital and more sustainable economy. New technologies and political and social requirements, such as the transition to a circular economy and the establishment of the bioeconomy, are leading to changes in value creation patterns and sometimes require disruptive and often digital changes.
With the Transformation of the Plastics Industry research group, we are focusing on this holistic change. Our aim here is to help shape the future of plastics production and use in a visionary way. To this end, we are pooling our collective SKZ expertise.
In research projects and services, we support companies in the plastics industry in
- the transformation of their processes towards climate neutrality
- the establishment of circular (digital) business models
- the implementation of energy efficiency measures
- the use of renewable raw materials
