Circular Kunststoff & Schule

01.08.2023 - 17.10.2025
Forschungsförderungsprojekt

From 2023 to 2025, three scientific, three corporate and seven educational partners will work together on issues relating to plastics in a circular economy.

Phase 1: What is the problem?

Plastics under the microscope — what are they?

What impact do they have on our environment?

What needs to be considered from a social perspective?


Phase 2: What solutions already exist?

Various solutions will be explored and presented to each other in excursions and workshops. Primary schools will focus on solutions for packaging, secondary schools on everyday objects, and the HBLA for fashion and art on textiles.

Phase 3: Developing your own solutions

In the course of their own projects, supported by hackathons and mentoring, the children and young people will work in groups to develop new solutions for the circular economy with plastics.
