KG, KIT, NESTLE, Siegwerk Druckfarben AG und Co KGaA, Ecozept, SUEZ Groupe, National Technical University of Athens
BMBF funded project
Control+
The aim of the project is to develop a 100-percent quality control system with traceability, including protection against counterfeiting, for the production of diagnostic test carriers for medical applications.
Project coordinator: Spindiag GmbH
Project partners: Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft für angewandte Forschung e.V., BioFluidix GmbH, senswork GmbH, Kontron AIS GmbH
Funding code: 02P18C014
BMBF funded project
IDcycLIB
12 partners from industry and research have joined forces to develop a coherent, sustainable and industrially suitable concept for battery cell production, recycling and reprocessing. The goal is an innovation platform of a green, detectable and directly recyclable lithium-ion battery.
Project coordinator: Carl Padberg Zentrifugenbau GmbH
Project partners: Fraunhofer-Institut für Silicatforschung ISC, Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen IIS, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Pure Devices GmbH, MAB Recycling GmbH, iPoint-systems GmbH, IFU Institut für Umweltinformatik Hamburg GmbH, EurA AG, BASF SE (associated partner), Leclanché GmbH (associated partner)
Funding code: 03XP0393D
BMWK funded project
LiKE
The aim of the project is to reengineer selected components with regard to their CO2 balance and transform them into sustainable, recyclable products by applying lifecycle-spanning product development and resource-saving lightweight construction technologies.
Project coordinator: Siemens AG
Project partners: ifu Institut für Umweltinformatik Hamburg GmbH (iPoint-Gruppe), MetisMotion GmbH, Schmuhl Faserverbundtechnik GmbH,
THM recycling solutions GmbH, Technische Universität Dresden - Institut für Leichtbau und Kunststofftechnik, TU Bergakademie Freiberg - Institut für Aufbereitungsmaschinen und Recyclingtechnik, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie - Institut für Mikrostrukturtechnik
The project is funded within the Technology Transfer Program "Lightweight Construction (TTP LB) - Program Line 2: CO2 Saving and CO2 Binding through the Use of New Construction Techniques and Materials" - of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) for three years until 2023 and is supervised by the project management organization Jülich.
Funding code: 03LB2008G
PROJECT OF THE GERMAN FEDERAL FOUNDATION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
ProViTASK
Development of a process-safe sorting and singulation technology using Tracer-Based-Sorting for article rejects in the injection molding production of plastic closures made of polyolefins – a prerequisite for in-house recycling, e.g. for closure caps.
Project partner: Georg MENSHEN GmbH & Co. KG
Project reference: 37711/01
BMBF funded project
sensIC
The aim of the project is to protect electronic sensors against counterfeiting and attacks by applying security features that cannot be copied.
Project coordinator: Benecke-Kaliko AG
Project partners: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie KIT, Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien INM, Hochschule Offenburg, Cyient GmbH, ContiTech MGW GmbH, Elmos Semiconductor (assoziierter Partner)
Funding code: ME1ZEUS007
