We organize an annual digital workshop with the Indo-German Centre for Sustainability (IGCS) to promote sustainability in the plastics industry. Students from various disciplines worldwide take part in the #sustainabilitychallenge to learn about challenges and strategies in dealing with plastics. Lectures by experts from renowned universities, institutes and companies will provide an interdisciplinary overview, on the basis of which participants will develop their own ideas for the sustainable use of plastics in small groups.
The workshop will take place in 2024 under the motto “Reduce | Re-Use | Recycle | Recover. From Waste to Wealth: Plastics in a Circular Economy - Sustainable Solutions and Innovations for a Greener Future”. The innovations developed will then be presented and we will award prizes to the most promising ideas.
In this way, we benefit as a company and assume social responsibility by drawing attention to current (environmental) problems through educational work and contributing to their solution. The workshop serves the common good and fulfills the purpose of the foundation.
