Many products in our daily lives are made of plastics: Our smartphone, our sportswear, the power socket and also parts of our cars are made of "polymer materials", among other things. Our graduates work on the development and recycling of such materials, components and products.

Because plastic can be processed in many ways and is therefore widely applicable, the production volume is constantly increasing. Fields of activity such as sustainable design and production, disposal, recycling and ecological assessment of the entire life cycle of plastics are therefore becoming increasingly important.

The field of study covers the most important areas of plastics technology along the value-added cycle, thus offering a holistic insight into polymer sciences and providing our graduates with key roles in solving cutting-edge problems.
