10. cycletalk - Focus on packaging in the cycle

Packaging in the cycle

Experience innovation and sustainability up close at our cycletalk "Packaging in the cycle - design, reuse, recycle".

Packaging is omnipresent in our society. It has great potential to close cycles. There are starting points for this along the entire value chain. Our program at the 10th cycletalk offers exciting presentations and discussions on current hot topics in this field:

  • With the packaging design can lay the foundation for a closed cycle. We present the latest recommendations from a scientific study by the ZHAW and realcycle.
  • Reusable packaging close loops during the use phase. In everyday life, however, they still face a number of hurdles. An article on the reCIRCLE take-away system gives you an insight into current research and implementation in this area.
  • So that packaging can be recycled after use recycling can be recycled after use treatment processes are necessary. You will gain an insight into the the latest innovations in cleaning processes and the use of artificial intelligence in sorting.
  • In general, in order to identify target-oriented starting points, it is helpful to analyze the volume flows and where the packaging is used. We have analyzed the commercial and industrial packaging in Switzerland and present the results.

 

Take the opportunity to network and round off the day with an aperitif together!
