KIOptiPack – Design and Production
Holistic AI-based optimization of plastic packaging with recycled content
In the future, packaging will need to contain a minimum of 30 percent recycled materials. In order to use recycled materials safely on an industrial scale, material quality must first be standardized. This is where the KIOptiPack — Design and Production innovation lab comes in. The goal is to roll out, validate and put into application practical AI-based tools for successful product design and quality production methods for plastic packaging made from a high proportion of recycled materials. This links up with the development of a central network platform for value creation engineering. The tools developed in the project target the entire value chain. This includes secondary raw materials, material and packaging development, process design and packaging production, as well as waste collection and treatment and consumption.
