Given the dependence on fossil resources and with the increasing perception of environmental problems from the use of petro-based products, materials that are produced and reused in an ecologically as well as economically sustainable way are becoming more and more important. Such sustainable materials are mainly based on a true circular economy (recycling), come from biomass (preferably from residual materials) or are based on the use of atmospheric CO2 or CO2 from corresponding exhaust gases.
On this basis, marketable and environmentally friendly products are to emerge from the innovation network “Sustainable Materials”.
