In addition to processing conventional plastics such as PS, PE and PP, a key focus is on processing sustainable, biodegradable plastics such as polylactide (PLA) or thermoplastic starch (TPS). The background to this is that today&#8217;s packaging is often made from fossil resources and has to be incinerated after use because it is not biodegradable. A starch-based, biodegradable foam film based on potato or corn starch, for example, is therefore being developed in a current research project.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"1189\">Your task will be to support the practical implementation of extrusion tests as part of publicly funded research projects and in direct cooperation with industry. You will also be involved in the development of innovative system components, material compositions and process configurations for the foam industry, making packaging and its production more sustainable.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"cpt-job-wysiwyg-block_d9f8193a9febd8e4d36239d3db9e7e6d\" class=\"block-cpt-job-wysiwyg pb-base\">\n    <h3 class=\"h2 text-lg\">Your
