ToCoReRaM – Tool for Complete Recovery of Raw Materials
The ToCoReRaM project is exploring ways to support small and medium-sized companies in making better use of raw materials and recovering them from end-of-life products. The idea is simple: the end of a product should mark the beginning of a new life for its materials.
Funded by the German BMUV as part of the “Eureni” programme, the project runs from November 2024 to July 2026. Bringing together the expertise of Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Atlantic Technological University, and the University of Graz, the project team is conducting interviews and surveys to understand what kind of support manufacturing SMEs need. Based on these insights, the project aims to gather ideas and give recommendations on how to develop a simple, practical tool that offers tailored solutions and helps enterprises meet EU sustainability regulations.
