Cooperation with Japan
SKZ is looking for collaboration with Japanese partners in biomanufacturing and sustainable polymer innovation. Based on its strong expertise in biobased polymers, additives, composites, compounding, extrusion, injection molding, additive manufacturing, testing, recycling and life cycle assessment, SKZ aims to contribute to joint R&D on renewable-resource-based production processes, novel bio-based materials and enabling technologies for data-driven, scalable biomanufacturing. We are particularly interested in combining Japanese excellence in biotechnology and platform technologies with SKZ’s application-oriented materials, processing and validation capabilities to accelerate sustainable and circular plastics solutions with clear industrial relevance.
Shaping the Future of Bioplastics
SKZ is one of Europe’s leading research centers for plastics and polymer technologies and an experienced partner for international bioeconomy collaboration. With over 200 experts in 15 R&D groups, 25,000 m² of technical facilities, and a network of 430 industry partners, SKZ combines scientific excellence with strong industrial implementation capabilities to develop sustainable, biobased, and circular polymer solutions.
SKZ focuses on research and innovation that support the transformation from fossil-based to bio-based and circular material systems. Its work includes the development of biopolymers, additives, and composites; the processing of sustainable materials through compounding, extrusion, injection molding, and additive manufacturing; and the validation of new materials through advanced testing, recycling, and life cycle assessment. In this way, SKZ contributes to the development of bio-based products and processes with practical relevance for industry.
A particular strength of SKZ lies in linking material innovation with sustainability assessment, industrial application, and knowledge transfer. In the bioeconomy field, SKZ manages a bioplastics cluster of 75 companies (create-cluster.de), develops training modules for bioplastics, carries out life cycle assessments for biobased materials, and coordinates several active working groups on sustainable plastics. This broad experience enables SKZ to support collaborative projects that combine research excellence with implementation potential and strong added value for sustainable value creation.
With around 100 funded projects per year and more than 13,000 participants reached annually through training and transfer activities, SKZ is an ideal partner for international R&D projects in the bioeconomy. The institute offers strong expertise for the development, testing, and transfer of innovative bio-based and circular polymer solutions that contribute to a more sustainable and competitive economy.
