Events/Trade Fairs

Fraunhofer UMSICHT is participating in the 13th International Freiberg Conference 2025 on Circular Carbon Technologies in Prague. In his presentation, Dr. Martin Nieberl, Department of Advanced Carbon Conversion Technologies, will present various examples of how pyrolysis oils from plastic waste can be upgraded and improved.

Fraunhofer UMSICHT is taking part in the Chemical Recycling Europe Forum, which is organized by the professional association of chemical recycling companies in Europe. In his Presentation speech, Matthias Franke, Head of the Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch, will shed light on the topic of »Chemical recycling and beyond - current approaches to increase plastic circularity« and will also take part in the panel discussion.

Fraunhofer UMSICHT is participating in the Renewable Materials Conference 2025 in Cologne, organized by the Nova Institute. In his presentation, Alexander Hofmann, head of the Advanced Carbon Conversion Technologies department, will talk about the possibility of producing stable, high-quality crude oils from biogenic residues. He will also present innovative processes for the post-treatment of biogenic pyrolysis oils in order to meet the specifications required for steam crackers.

Fraunhofer UMSICHT is represented as a partner of the CCPE - Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy - at this year's K in Düsseldorf. Prof. Dr. Matthais Franke (Head of the Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch of the institute) will be speaking on the prospects for chemical and mechanical recycling. K is the leading international plastics trade fair. Scientists from the Sulzbach-Rosenberg branch of the institute will be happy to answer questions about current, innovative technologies for the chemical recycling of plastics.
