Herzlich Willkommen!

Am Institut für Circular Resource Engineering und Management (CREM).

Das CREM Institut ist ein Treiber und Innovator der Circular Economy. In enger Zusammenarbeit mit nationalen und internationalen Stakeholdern aus Wissenschaft, Industrie und Gesellschaft erweitern wir faktenbasiert die Wissensbasis und entwickeln nachhaltige Prozesse, Techniken und Konzepte. Wir forschen an innovative Lösungen für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Unsere Forschung fokussiert die Verwirklichung zirkularer, klimafreundlicher Städte und Gesellschaften und widmet sich insbesondere dem Klimabeitrag der Circular Economy, der Kreislaufführung von Polymeren, mineralischen Bau- und Reststoffen sowie der Bioökonomie.

Wir sind interdisziplinär aufgestellt und verfügen über Kompetenzen aus den Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Naturwissenschaft und den Gesellschaftswissenschaften. Eine exzellente Laborausstattung, hervorragend ausgerüstete Technikumsflächen (Indoor und Outdoor) ermöglichen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte vom Labormaßstab bis zum anwendungstechnischen Ausbau. Die intensive und langjährige Kollaboration mit großtechnischen Anlagen ermöglicht Implementierungstests und Optimierungen in full scale Projekten.

Der kontinuierliche Ausbau unseres lebendigen Netzwerks treibt Innovationen voran und fördert die Verfügbarkeit des Wissens. Gemeinsam gestalten wir eine nachhaltige Zukunft: Wir werden die Art und Weise, wie wir Ressourcen nutzen, verändern.

Wir laden Sie ein, unsere Website zu erkunden, um mehr über unsere Themen und Ansprüche, Forschungsprojekte, Publikationen und Kooperationsinitiativen zu erfahren.

Und freuen uns, von Ihnen zu hören!

The CREM Institute is a driver and innovator of the circular economy. In close cooperation with national and international stakeholders from science, industry and society, we expand the knowledge base based on facts and develop sustainable processes, technologies and concepts. We research innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Our research focuses on the realization of circular, climate-friendly cities and societies and is particularly dedicated to the climate contribution of the circular economy, the recycling of polymers, mineral building and residual materials and the bioeconomy.

We are interdisciplinary and have expertise in engineering, natural sciences and social sciences. Excellent laboratory facilities and superbly equipped pilot plant areas (indoor and outdoor) enable research and development projects from laboratory scale to application technology expansion. The intensive and long-standing collaboration with large-scale technical facilities enables implementation tests and optimizations in full-scale projects.

The continuous expansion of our lively network drives innovation and promotes the availability of knowledge. Together we are shaping a sustainable future: we will change the way we use resources.

We invite you to explore our website to find out more about our topics and aspirations, research projects, publications and cooperation initiatives.

And we look forward to hearing from you!

SWAP Project Final Event: Strong Partnerships and Achievements

Our SWAP project, which aimed to address the challenges of solid waste management in Southeast Asian countries and build capacity in the sector, officially concluded in early January. The project's success was commemorated during a highly productive final management board meeting hosted by CMU University in beautiful Chiang Mai.

At the concluding meeting, the project team showcased a comprehensive summary of activities and results achieved throughout the initiative. Notably, SWAP not only succeeded in building capacity in Southeast Asian nations but also fostered a robust alliance between Asian and European consortium partners.

The collaborative efforts made during the project have laid the foundation for future cooperation. The relationships forged between the consortium partners, both in Asia and Europe, promise to be instrumental in addressing the ongoing challenges of sustainable solid waste management. The successful partnerships formed during SWAP demonstrate the power of international collaboration in tackling global issues, raising awareness and strengthening the sector with high-quality Higher Education programs, Training Hubs, TVET courses, courses for the informal sector and stakeholder involvement.

The SWAP project's impact extends beyond capacity building, as it played a pivotal role in raising awareness about sustainable waste management practices. By bringing together experts from different regions, the project has created a platform for the exchange of knowledge and expertise, laying the groundwork for a greener and more fruitful future.

As the project concludes, the anticipation for future collaborations is high. The momentum gained during SWAP will undoubtedly contribute to the ongoing efforts to achieve sustainable solid waste management globally. The collective commitment to this cause remains unwavering, as expressed by the enthusiastic anticipation of continued collaboration to build capacities and implement effective policies.

In conclusion, SWAP stands as a testament to the positive outcomes that can be achieved through international partnerships and concerted efforts towards sustainable waste management. The project's legacy lives on, inspiring a shared vision of a cleaner and more environmentally conscious world. Together, the SWAP community looks forward to continuing their collaborative journey towards a sustainable future.
