Welcome at Fraunhofer Research Institution for Materials Recycling and Resource Strategies IWKS
We develop circular materials and materials science technologies for an sustainable, waste-free circular economy. In close cooperation with universities, institutes and industry partners, we do research on more sustainable alternatives for critical raw materials and elaborate solutions for an intelligent regeneration of innovative materials and their energy-efficient recovery.
As part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we aim to transfer scientific findings about key future-relevant technologies in industry and business and therewith contribute to the industrial transformation and a healthy planet.
