Our heart beats for cycles
For us, teamwork means being guided by a shared vision of a sustainable economy. But we can only achieve the change together. That's why you are also part of it - and the entire network of players in a value chain.
The team
Dr. Melanie Haupt
Managing Director
"The linear economy has failed - we are consuming more resources than ever before and there is no longer any security of supply. The circular economy offers a solution. Its implementation is complex and challenging, but also very exciting. That's exactly why I'm committed to a systemic, sustainable circular economy."
David Bless
Research Associate
"To me, it seems logical to view materials as recyclables and to treat them with care. This includes a circular economy in which the potential of existing recyclables is fully exploited."
Dr. Maja Wiprächtiger
Project Manager
"I am committed to a sustainable circular economy because it makes an important contribution to reducing negative environmental impacts. Sustainable use of resources is also close to my heart because of tomorrow's generations. To achieve this, we all need to pull together and find systemic solutions for sustainable implementation."

Research assistant
"If we use our materials long and wisely, we protect the environment and conserve our resources. Closed cycles and regionalized supply chains also give us independence from international raw material suppliers and from price fluctuations."
Raymond Schelker
Project Manager
"A future fit for grandchildren is very close to my heart. To achieve this, we must, among other things, treat our resources with care and consideration. Now, in order for a circular economy to be introduced, implemented and maintained in a sustainable manner, it requires a holistic view and the cooperation of stakeholders along the entire value chain. I am committed to ensuring that all stakeholders pursue the same goal with the same understanding."
