In May 2017, a framework agreement was concluded between the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and its project group IWKS of the Institute for Silicate Research as well as ELOGplan GmbH. The agreement defines a project-specific collaboration in the fields of planning, research and implementation of innovative disposal concepts. With this, national and international projects can be realized for the benefit of both partners, which are required for the scientific foundations, research results and process-specific know-how in the treatment of waste streams as well as the operative experience and practical knowledge in disposal logistics as well as the implementation of disposal projects.
