SME innovative – collaborative project on resource efficiency: UpcyclePET – Development of innovative processes and formulations designed for the upcycling of PET-bottles and blister recyclates for high-tech plastic applications, TV 2: assessment of sustainability aspects during product development

- The aim of the project was to consistently investigate - in terms of industrializability - the technical, economic and ecological potential of the new LFT production process based on recycling and BioPET matrices, using the example of automotive applications. In order to ensure and document the ecological direction of the project and to identify any existing optimisation potential, Oeko-Institut carried out a life-cycle-based sustainability assessment of the new developments as a development-related component of its R&D work.
