Success stories – companies provide insights into their paths to sustainability ” Materials Forum of the Future
“Time for something to turn” was the title of Herbert Grönemeyer’s song on the occasion of the 2006 World Cup in his own country. In a figurative sense, this is a good motto for the challenges facing companies, not only to think in terms of material cycles, but also to start implementing them now. It is already clear today that the gap between supply and demand for recycled plastics will widen in the coming years and that companies will be called upon to take action to secure their own material flows in future as a result of their own targets and/or regulations.
“From companies for companies” – this is how the Materials Forum of the Future presents innovative sustainability concepts, forward-looking business models and successful circular economy strategies to interested parties. Even small adjustments can make a big difference.
The Materials Forum of the Future offers a platform for exchanging ideas with those involved in entrepreneurial success stories, ideally with a view to implementing them themselves.
