Current research projects
Since 1972, we are researching on waste management and working on various problems in waste processing and recycling. Below you can find a part of our current research topics.
Research activities are supported with our technical facilities and funded by programs on state, national and European levels as well as private research funding.
EKaBio - Energy-efficient cascade utilization of biogenic waste considering new requirements for exhaust air treatment and compost quality
EnEWA - Energy savings in paper production by tapping the value chains of recovered paper from lightweight packaging, residual waste and commercial waste
EsKorte - Development and testing of a sensor-based material flow monitoring system for plastic recycling technologies
Forschungskolleg VERBUND.NRW - Closing the loop | Resource-efficient and recyclable composite materials in the construction industry
KIMBA - AI-based process control and automated quality management in the recycling of construction and demolition waste through sensor-based inline monitoring of particle size distributions
ORAM - Development of a recycling and production system for the restoration of interior components and reduction of material consumption in the aviation industry
