My ideas

Intelligent Management of Resources in the Sorting of Scrap

The process COLA (Collaboration Of Laser-induced plasma spectroscopy and Laser Ablation) offers the possibility to precisely analyze the alloy compositions of scrap metals. There is great potential: from the automobile and aviation industries to waste incineration plants, scrap metal accumulates in vast amounts. With 100 COLA facilities, annual savings of around 1.1 million tons of CO2 could be realized.

Innovative carbon fiber recycling

The project partners CFK-Valley Stade Recycling GmbH & Co. KG, Wischhafen, and the Lüdenscheid Plastics Institute developed a process by which the carbon fiber contained in composite materials waste, production waste or “end- of-life” products can be recycled and transferred to new, high-quality carbon fiber products.

Recovery of Phosphorus from Sewage Sludge

About two million tons of dry sludge mass accumulates each year in Germany, containing about 60,000 tons of phosphorus. Sewage sludge is thus a possible source for phosphorus recycling. With the DBU’s (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt) support, the chemical factory Budenheim KG, Budenheim, has developed a process by which phosphates can be separated from sewage sludge and thereby recovered.

High-quality recycling of PUR flexible foams

The company H & S Anlagentechnik GmbH, of Sulingen, has introduced an innovative chemical recycling process. In this manner a recycling polyol is successfully generated, which is once again suitable for immediate PUR flexible foam production

Environmentally-friendly coating-film technology

A new coating film technology enables the coating of synthetic parts and components, with savings in materials of 50 % and an 80 % reduction in energy consumption.

Sorted Recycling with Laser technology

Innovative analysis technology opens up completely new possibilities for the recycling of plastics, and enables the sustainable recovery of important raw materials
