The JCF invites you to a session and visit to ACHEMA 2022 in Frankfurt am Main on Monday, August 22, 2022. Under the title " 2nd Sustainability – Circular Plastics", five international speakers from academia and industry will present the current development of chemistry with regard to sustainability from their individual perspectives.

In addition to the actual lecture session, the participants will be offered an exclusive networking program, which already starts the day before – Sunday, August 21. Through a poster session including a networking reception, all participants will have the opportunity to present their own research under the aspect of sustainability and to exchange ideas. On Monday morning, there will be the opportunity to visit the ACHEMA exhibition with more than 3500 exhibitors, either independently or with newly established contacts. From 14:00 -16:00 the lectures will take place in the "Max-Buchner- Hörsaal" at the Dechema building (Theodor-Heuss-Allee 25, 60486 Frankfurt am Main). Afterwards, there will be the unique opportunity to meet and talk with the guests during a get together.

Registration, Abstract submission as well as further details about the guests, the program and funding opportunities can be found below.

What is the ACHEMA?

The ACHEMA trade fair is a globally renowned forum for upcoming technologies in the chemical process industry and celebrated its 100-year anniversary in 2022. This remarkable milestone renders it particularly momentous for developments in the upcoming decades, which hold great challenges but also great potential for the chemical process industry in areas like carbon neutrality, scarcity of resources and waste management.

 

How is the Young Chemist’s Network involved?

In its own designated session, the Young Chemist’s Network (JCF) of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) wants to focus this zeitgeist on the development of sustainable solutions and circular waste processing. Here, we build on our successful session "Sustainability – renew, resource and rethink" at ACHEMA 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/nadc.20184080424) and want to dedicate the second edition to the topic "circular plastics".

 

Why is this topic relevant?

Plastic also recently entered the second century of its success story. Since the discovery of macromolecules by Hermann Staudinger in 1920, plastics have become an integral part of our modern life. However, one of the most reliable properties of modern plastic has become one of its biggest problems – its durability and the resulting consequences for the ecosystem. Nevertheless, through advancements in our society, economy and especially process engineering, this property also harbours great potential for cheap and circular resources. Accordingly, such a circular use is encouraging for both environmental and economic reasons and offers a sustainable yet efficient future for this jack-of-all-trades.

 

What is the session going to be like?

In a 2 hour session, different stakeholders will assess the potential of "plastics as resource" from their points of view and will put its relevance for the future of process industry into context of current developments. Apart from interesting presentations, the session will also provide ample time for dialogues and discussions. After this, attendees will be able to talk and network with the speakers and representatives of our partners.
