powered by Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF

As a research institute, it is our mission to provide a platform for dialogue and networking between experts from industry and science.

The 8^th Forum Plastic Recyclates took place at the Welcome Hotel Darmstadt. Under our patronage for the fifth time, the forum has developed into an established meeting point of the industry, offering participants the opportunity to exchange views on current developments and challenges in plastics recycling.

The last forum demonstrated the relevance of this platform: with high-quality presentations, in-depth discussions and an active exchange of ideas, it fostered knowledge transfer and laid the foundation for new collaborations.
