As part of our event series BioBall on-site, we invite you to visit the  Fraunhofer IWKS in Alzenau  .



The Fraunhofer Institute for Resource Recycling and Strategy IWKS conducts research on solutions for a sustainable, waste-free circular economy. The focus lies on the development of new materials, resource-efficient technologies, and effective recycling processes – all essential building blocks for a bio-based future.



During the event, the  BioBall project GlyPac  will also be presented. In this project, glycan-based binders for packaging materials are being developed. The already available technologies are being further optimized for cost and resource efficiency and tested in proven formulations of paints and coatings. The project offers a practical example of how regional food industry by-products can be transformed into new sustainable applications.



We invite you to tour the Fraunhofer IWKS in Alzenau on May 22, 2025, from 3–5 PM.



Take the opportunity to: 

✅ learn about current research projects on sustainable materials and recycling solutions

✅ gain insights into the institute’s technical infrastructure and how you can benefit from it

✅ connect with experts from research and industry



Due to limited capacity, the number of participants is restricted – register today!

We look forward to your participation and an engaging exchange on site!
