"Preserving value must become more appealing than discarding it”
What makes a truly circular economy so difficult – technically, economically, and socially? In a double interview, CDS spokesperson Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kai Sundmacher, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, and Prof. Dietmar Harhoff, Ph.D., Director at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, discussed the challenges of the circular economy and the necessary incentives, long-lasting products, and how even small decisions can drive big change.
Chemistry in the cycle
A chemical industry that does not use fossil raw materials would avoid greenhouse gas emissions and waste. A circular economy in chemical production could achieve this goal. At the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, scientists are supporting this transformation with numerous projects.
