ZirKuS started

In the ‘ZirKuS’ project, we are working with 14 partners from industry and research to develop a sustainable, circular artificial turf system with digital material management in order to increase recyclability and resource utilisation. ZirKuS combines partners from the polymer industry, digitalisation and monitoring to establish innovative recycling processes. A leasing model enables site operators to extend the service life of the systems through maintenance and repair. The aim is to recycle high-quality polymers, track material flows transparently and strengthen the circular economy in Germany. Find out how this project is transforming sport to be more sustainable and driving ecological innovation.

µ-scratching successfully finished

Reproducible abrasive materials based on tufting technology have been developed, with which floors or furniture surfaces can be tested precisely and reliably regarding their micro-scratch resistance. In addition, a new reference high-gloss surface is used for quality assurance of the test procedure. Floor and furniture manufacturers benefit from reliably tested products and testing institutes benefit from more reliable test results and a reduction in repeat tests and complaints.

ALPA started

Recyclable textile flooring made from PA 12:
We are investigating the potential of polyamide 12 (PA 12) as a raw material for the development of textile floor coverings. Thanks to its low moisture absorption, PA 12 achieves high dimensional stability and stain resistance, thus creating the conditions for extending the lifespan of floor coverings. One focus of the project is the transfer and adaptation of established manufacturing processes, such as thermobonding and dyeing, to the specific properties of PA 12. In particular, a new testing method is being developed to evaluate the dimensional stability of the novel raw material under practice-oriented conditions. The result is a recyclable textile floor covering with a surface layer made of PA 12.
