Job Description

Even today the manufacture of plastic products still based almost exclusively on the use of fossil raw materials. Mechanically recycled plastics have great potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to fossilbased raw materials and thus make a product more sustainable. The use of recycled plastics particularly in the automotive industry is currently mostly limited to postindustrial recyclate. There is a lack of distinct material flows for postconsumer recycled plastics especially recycled engineering plastics. Since engineering plastics are used in large quantities in the automotive industry this thesis aims to systematically investigate the influence of reprocessing on the material state of PA66 plastics from endoflife vehicle components.

  • Based on your results you will develop a strategy for improving specific material properties through readditivation in order to prepare the materials for closedloop recycling.
  • You will sort shred and clean the endoflife vehicles components.
  • Determination of the material state after reprocessing is one of your tasks.

Qualifications :

  • Education: studies in the field of Mechanical Engineering Materials Science/Engineering or comparable
  • Experience and Knowledge: in the field of plastic properties and processing as well as recycling is preferred; IT skills in data science are welcome
  • Personality and Working Practice: you are a structured communicative and responsible person who is able to work independently
  • Languages: good communication skills in written and spoken English and German


Additional Information :

Start: according to prior agreement
Duration: 6 months

Requirement for this thesis is the enrollment at university. Please attach your CV transcript of records examination regulations and if indicated a valid work and residence permit.
