Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPEIdentification of the individual degree of circularity and ecological footprint
Which material is the most sustainable choice for my application? How can I compare disposable and reusable alternatives? And what is the ecological footprint of my products, processes and services? These key questions can be answered with the help of a life cycle assessment.
At Fraunhofer CCPE, we are working on the further development and refinement of existing life cycle assessment methods with the aim of integrating the circularity of products and materials into the assessment. We have assessed both state-of-the-art and new processes and technologies, such as recycling processes and the latest materials. This enables us to precisely map the use and recycling of products using scientifically sound assessment models.
Would you like to quantify the environmental impact of your products and, for example, compare different types of recycling or material and design alternatives? Contact us and we will evaluate your product, processes or services.
You can also try out our online self-check for the Circluar Readiness Level® to discover levers for improving the circularity of your products.
