Sustainable plastics containing flame retardants for use in closed-loop applications
Press release from 08.04.2025
The development of high-quality, halogen-free flame retardants (hffr) for recycled plastics to meet increasing recycling quotas is a major challenge. The Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF is looking for partners for the new project "hffr-Up2Cycle". The main objective of this project is to upgrade PCR materials with halogen-free flame retardants (hffr) and to investigate these materials through the simulation of closed-loop processes for plastics containing flame retardants in the sections of electronics, automotive, construction and cable applications. The project is aimed at OEMs, manufacturers of plastic components, raw material suppliers, compound developers and industry associations.
