Frequently asked questions
Innovative materials are those whose properties or manufacturing processes enable new applications. These include, for example, lightweight yet high-strength plastics, biodegradable materials and high-performance composites.
The focus is, amongst other things, on high-performance and resource-efficient materials, new composites, and plastics that are easier to recycle or reuse.
They can help to reduce the use of raw materials and energy, make products lighter or more durable, and facilitate recycling. It is crucial to select the properties of the material to suit the specific application.
More efficient use of materials, innovative technologies and more flexible production processes can help companies reduce costs and dependencies. At K, visitors can learn about approaches and solutions in this area.
Recycling and reuse are key components of more sustainable materials development. The aim is to return materials to the cycle after use and to manufacture high-quality new products from them.
