Discussion panel at the Hannover Messe: Innovations in the plastics sector

Innovations in the plastics sector
3D Printing: More Than Just a Gimmick?
3D printing can do more than produce USB sticks in the shape of hot dogs, mini-sneakers for dogs and aquarium slides for fish.
Rather, it can make an important contribution to plastic recycling!
That is why we are dedicating the KNUW panel at the Hannover Messe to the questions of how additive manufacturing affects the recyclability of plastics and how the use of recyclates in 3D printing is organised.
Curious? Then come and see us!
📅 Date: 2 April 2024
🕠 Time: 4:25 – 4:45 pm
📍 Location: Tech Transfer Stage
We are very pleased to welcome Lukas Pelzer from Layer Performance as a participant. Layer Performance offers customised solutions with its innovative software to further expand the wide range of additive manufacturing applications!
The panel will be moderated by Daniel Ohl, speaker of the Green Economy Network.NRW (KNUW) and doctoral scholarship holder at the INZIN Institute in the field of plastics recycling.
Let’s talk together about how we can create more sustainable solutions for industry through technological innovation!
Come along and join the discussion!

High-ranking delegation from Beijing meets INZIN doctoral students


On 17 February 2025, a high-ranking Chinese delegation from Beijing met with the INZIN Institute for a professional exchange. The delegation’s stay and the event at the IHK Forum in Düsseldorf were organised by the German-Chinese Business Association (DCW) e.V. and provided a valuable opportunity for international networking and knowledge transfer.
As part of the event, three doctoral students from the INZIN Institute gave lectures and presented their doctoral projects. Pauline Jegen presented her doctoral project on the “Effects of implementing circular construction on material flows”. Konstantin Saure presented his research on “Urban redistribution logistics for reusable packaging for pre-packaged food”. Daniel Ohl gave an insight into his work on “Recyclate utilisation rates for plastics”.
Dr. Ulrich Teich introduced the INZIN Institute and supported the German-Chinese dialogue.
Many thanks to the German-Chinese Business Association (DCW) and the IHK Forum Düsseldorf!
