The focus is on high-quality applications such as films and packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Germany and Hesse, KISS also stands for intelligent resource management on an international level. Interpreted as&nbsp;<strong>\u201cKeep It Short &amp; Simple,\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;KISS reflects what the plastics industry needs today \u2013 simple, efficient pathways to a better circular economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The industry is invited to actively participate in shaping KISS and the future of the circular economy. Opportunities include providing material samples for analysis and testing, contributing to new approaches for optimising material flows, and gaining early access to insights and technologies related to recycled materials \u2013 with the added benefit of learning more about the quality and characteristics of their own materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Innovations for the material use of tomorrow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The data and insights generated will specifically support the production and processing of recycled plastics, with the aim of sustainably improving availability, quality and application potential. In doing so, the project helps unlock new raw material potentials, optimise processes and reduce the carbon footprint along the entire value chain \u2013 originating directly from Germany and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further information about KISS, the project partners and participation opportunities is available on the plastship website in the\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/plastship.com\/en\/plastship-benchmark-2\" target=\"_blank\">material quality section<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contacts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RIGK GmbH<br>Anne Biel (Business Development Manager)<br>Phone: +49 (0) 6 11\/ 30 86 00-56<br>email: <a href=\"mailto:biel@rigk.de\">biel@rigk.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>plastship GmbH<br>Andreas Bastian (Managing Director)<br>Phone: +49 (0) 6126 58 980-12<br>email: <a href=\"mailto:bastian@plastship.com\">bastian@plastship.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The innovation project&nbsp;KISS&nbsp;(\u201eKI-basierte Qualifizierung,&nbsp;Steuerung und Optimierung von&nbsp;Stoffstr\u00f6men zur Schlie\u00dfung von regionalen Ressourcenkreisl\u00e4ufen\u201c \u2013 &#8220;AI-Based Qualification, Management, and Optimization of Material Flows to Close Regional Resource Cycles&#8221;) aims to return plastics to the circular economy in a sustainable and economically viable way.
