In the CEPAM research project, a recycling process for high-quality metal powders for additive manufacturing is developed. Various methods of energy input are being evaluated for energy efficiency, scalability and powder quality and built up on a pilot scale. The recycled metal powder is characterized and processed in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process. In order to compare the mechanical properties of the printed components, parts are printed from both new and recycled powder.
NNATT - Sustainable use of excavated materials from civil engineering and tunnelling using sensor-based technologies
The holistic system developed in the NNATT project for the sustainable utilisation of excavated materials starts with the geology and extends through the construction process to recycling. With the help of sensor-based real-time analyses and an AI-supported decision matrix, excavated materials are separated and further developed into customised products.
EFFIE - Effizientere, biobasierte und recyclebare Stretchfolie
In EFFIE wird eine biobasiert, recyclebare und biomimetisch funktional strukturierte Wickelfolie in der Palettenverpackung entwickelt. Die im Laborumfeld getestete Wickelfolie wird in die konzeptionelle Entwicklung eines "adaptiven Wickelkonzept" (Prozess- & Anlagenkonzept) integriert. Dadurch wird eine individuelle Palettenwicklung ermöglicht.
QB3R - QS-gefertigte Hochleistungsbauteile auf Basis 100% biobasierter Rohstoffe mit hohem Reparatur- und Recyclingpotential
Ziel des QB3R Vorhabens ist die Entwicklung eines Epoxidharzsystems mit 100% biobasiertem Kohlenstoffanteil. Das QB3R-Harz wird sich mit verschiedenen Verarbeitungstechniken qualitätsgesichert zu Hochleistungsbauteilen für langlebige Sachgüter verarbeiten lassen. Die Reparatur- und Recyclingfähigkeit sowie der ökologische Nutzen der biobasierten Materialien wird erforscht und verifiziert.
BATTBOX - BATTeryrecycling Best Operations by X-processes for circular battery ecosystem
In the BATTBOX project, e-mobility traction batteries are analysed for their cycle capability. The design and structure of battery systems are examined and evaluated regarding potential hazards. Based on this, the best possible handling and processing procedures are developed to improve and optimize the product life cycle regarding safety and recyclability.
StraTex ‐ Sorting and processing strategies for used textiles to produce recyclable fractions
In StraTex, suitable, economically viable and holistic strategies for the collection, processing and automated sorting of mixed non‐reusable textiles are being developed and experimentally implemented in order to increase the proportion of marketable fractions for high‐quality material recycling (preferably fibre2fibre).
Innovations- und Vernetzungsplattform BioBASE
Bioökonomie und Kreislaufwirtschaft sind Schlagwörter einer neuen Wirtschaftsweise, die sich wieder stärker an den Rohstoffen und Kreisläufen der Natur orientiert und diese nützt, ohne sie zu zerstören oder langfristig zu erschöpfen. Konkret formuliert heißt das dreierlei: ein weitgehender Umstieg von fossilen auf nachwachsende Ressourcen, Rohstoffe im Kreis führen und eine generelle Reduktion unseres Ressourcenverbrauchs.
BitKOIN - CO2-reduced binding agent through thermochemical conversion of mineral wool waste combinations
In the BitKOIN project, conceptual, experimental and model research activities are conducted in order to develop a substitute material for ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). First, mineral wool waste and other mineral residues, which are required as additives to achieve the desired chemistry, are sampled representatively. The materials are then characterized chemically, mineralogically and physically and are additionally classified according to waste regulations. By thermochemical conditioning of the mineral wool waste, combined with the other waste materials, the "Huettensand 2.0" (GGBS 2.0) is developed. The project aims to develop the "Huettensand 2.0" , a durable GGBS substitute.
Hemp Ski, Recyclable ski manufacturing from hemp, bio-resin and waste streams
In industrial production for alpine skis, epoxy resins of fossil origin and pre-impregnated glass fiber reinforcements are processed today. Innovations that replace environmentally critical materials in skis with biogenic substitute materials with an improved environmental balance have so far been limited to the production of small series. This circumstance motivated the consortium to develop a solution for a circular bioeconomy with the HempSki project, which will also make industrial ski production from renewable raw materials and waste streams possible in the future.
