Why We Research

As an innovative recycling company, we constantly ask ourselves which aspects of recycling we, as a family business, can meaningfully develop. We possess research-relevant practical data, material flows, and proven recycling processes. This allows us to practically verify theoretical research considerations. We make our facility and the cooperation of our team available for scientific investigations.

End-of-Life Strategies for Light Electric Vehicles within a Digitalized Circular Economy, using E-Cargo Bikes as an Example

The KREISRAD cooperation project aims to establish and optimize the circularity of Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs), using e-cargo bikes as an example. Various End-of-Life Strategies (EoLS) are investigated and evaluated in comparison with life-extending measures to reduce the environmental impact of e-cargo bikes and – through transferability – also that of other LEVs.

Pilot4Cirulev

This research project develops sustainable end-of-life strategies for Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) to efficiently integrate recycling, reuse, and repair into a resource-saving circular economy. The goal is to close material loops, reduce environmental impact, and create innovative solutions for sustainable mobility.
