Renewable Materials Conference 2024
11. - 13. June 2024
Siegburg/Cologne (Germany) and Online
The Renewable Materials Conference is the place to catch up on innovations and implementations in the field of renewable materials that will shape the future of entire industries.
Biobased Plastics Scenario 2050 - plastics made from renewable resources
A “2050 scenario - plastics made from renewable resources (bio-based plastics)” has been developed. The hypothetical target of this scenario is for bio-based plastics to have a 100 % market share of product manufacturing in the EU. The scenario provides the basis for further national RTI activities and for recommendations for regulation.
Investigation of the sustainable utilisation of carbon from methane pyrolysis
One of the possible alternative production routes for renewable hydrogen is methane pyrolysis. Compared to other, alternative production routes, methane pyrolysis has the lowest energy input (less than a quarter of water electrolysis) with a very high hydrogen yield.
Recommendations for funding criteria to promote system benefits for medium and large battery storage systems
Market analysis and stakeholder process
Pyrolysis technologies in Europe
Technology overview of medium-fast pyrolysis for decentralised applications, for small and medium-sized enterprises and for the circular economy
Scenarios for the Biobased Industry in Austria
In order to support the implementation of the Austrian Bioeconomy Strategy, three scenarios for the bio-based industry in Austria were developed. The present study is intended to serve as a solid overview and as a starting point for further detailed studies by other researchers.
Circular Economy Funding
In this project, online research and expert interviews were used to collect available funding opportunities for projects and measures within the field of circular economy. The results were transferred to a database and organized for searches according to suitability.
Secondary Materials in the Austrian Textile Industry - Study with Recommendations for the Austrian R&D-Politics
This study deals with the challenges and potentials for the use of secondary materials in the Austrian textile industry. It identifies challenges and potentials for establishing cycles in the textile industry with a focus on the use of secondary materials in Austria based on broad stakeholder involvement. Based on this, recommendations for research and development activities were formulated to promote recycling.
Bio-based substitution of fossil raw materials and products
To support the bio-based substitution of fossil raw materials and products, the fossil material flows in Austria for the reference year 2015 were collected and analysed. Furthermore, a broad bio-based technology research was part of the present study.
KRAISBAU - Development of AI tools for a transformation to a circular economy along the life cycle of buildings
The BMK lead project KRAISBAU is a collaboration of 32 partners for the realization of a sustainable and circular construction industry. The project focuses on the development and implementation of AI-supported solutions in circular construction along the entire value chain. The knowledge gained is disseminated through factsheets, roadmaps and training courses with the aim of establishing scalable and efficient approaches for existing buildings.
Repair initiatives in Europe: innovations, business models, recommendations. Experiences from the PREPARE network
The European Union and many countries in Europe have begun to take individual measures to-wards “increasing the repair rate” here and there. With the help of surveys and interviews, which were carried out with the support of contacts provided by the “PREPARE” network, which has ex-isted for almost 30 years, this work collects information about such measures in other European countries - especially regarding “best practice examples” and “lessons learned” – and analyzes their transferability to Austria.

rPS4FoodPackaging - Polystyrene Recycling for food contact applications
The production of recycled plastics for food contact applications is challenging. Besides recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) for beverage bottles, there are few alternatives in recycled plastics. This project focuses on researching a novel recycling process for polystyrene, aiming for approval of recycled polystyrene (rPS) for food contact applications.
