Research Activities
Loop It!
The project “Loop It! – 1 Year of Plastics” provides children and young people with a holistic understanding of the circular economy using plastics as an example. In age-appropriate, hands-on workshops, students gain insights into scientific and technical research fields such as materials science, recycling technologies, and circular design. The aim is to develop a sustainable teaching and learning concept that enables schools to permanently integrate the topics of resource conservation, plastics recycling, and environmental awareness into their curriculum.
Wasseraufbereitung
The supply of clean water from primary sources (e.g. groundwater) is no longer guaranteed in many areas of the world – a transition from linear to circular water utilization with recycling of used water will make a significant contribution to solving this problem. The project involves the acquisition, installation and operation of a water treatment plant with various treatment modules on a pilot plant scale, which will be used primarily for teaching purposes, but will also be flexible enough for application in scientific research and for popular science purposes.
