Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV
The Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV is a leader in applied research for the secure supply of high-quality food and sustainable packaging systems. This also includes the development of a solvent-based recycling process for plastics, which consists of a physical extraction process for plastics with subsequent cleaning. The process for so-called 'post-consumer plastics' has already been successfully tested for a wide range of industries - from the packaging sector to the construction, electronics and automotive industries. The Fraunhofer IVV has standardized and specially developed laboratory testing methods for assessing the quality of recyclates. The institute also operates a small-scale production line and a demonstration plant for the sample production of recyclates for the development, optimization and upscaling of recycling processes.
