The BMBF’s Funding Measures for the “AI Application Hub for Plastic Packaging” (https://ki-hub-kunststoffverpackungen.de/ueber-das-ki-hub/hintergrund-und-ziele) are designed to pave the way for a more sustainable circular economy through the use of artificial intelligence. To close the loop for plastic packaging as much as possible, 51 partners from industry, academia, and civil society are collaborating in two innovation labs: KIOptiPack (https://ki-hub-kunststoffverpackungen.de/ki-opti-pack/ueber) for design and production, and K3I-Cycling (https://ki-hub-kunststoffverpackungen.de/k3i-cycling/ueber) for material recycling.
The KIOptiPack Innovation Lab focuses on providing AI-powered tools via a central network platform for value chain engineering. The project and the tools developed within it encompass the entire value chain—from secondary raw materials, through material and packaging development, process design, and packaging production, to waste collection and processing—as well as consumers. In the future, the proportion of recycled materials in packaging is expected to be at least 30 percent.
The KIOptiPack project aims to develop practical , AI-powered tools for the product design and high-quality production of plastic packaging with a high recycled content to provide, validate, and implement them in industrial applications. This is intended to make a significant contribution to the sustainable use of recycled materials and to lay the foundation for a functioning circular economy in the field of plastic packaging.
