Conferences and trade fairs

Visit us at this year's K - the leading trade show and business platform for the plastics and rubber industry - October 19th - 26th, 2022, in Düsseldorf, Germany. As it is open to new impulses and political discourse, the trade fair also provides space for the topics of circular economy, digitalization and climate protection.  

You can find Fraunhofer ICT at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in the Science Campus in Hall B7, booth SC01/SC01-3 SC.

Sustainable

In the field of sustainability, we focus on improvements in medical technology, and on biopolymers suited for challenging technical tasks. A particular highlight in this area is large-series sandwich structures made of a monomaterial system, which offer particular advantages in terms of recycling and reprocessing.

We will also be happy to inform you about sustainable pultrusion profiles, manufactured in a new production process. These are integrated into sustainable mobility projects such as the Fraunhofer lighthouse project Albacopter. 

Functional

As sensory organs, our ears and noses in particular should benefit from new materials with improved functionalities. One example is acoustically optimized plastic housings that reduce noise in everyday use. Another is materials with an encasing skin to block bad odors, or materials from which odors have been eliminated during the compounding process. We will be happy to show you how this works.

Recycling

We can discuss the use of alcolysis to recover PLA waste from a public festival for high-quality, energy-efficient recycling, and the latest smart ideas for tackling mattress waste.

Come and visit us - we look forward to meeting you!
