Future Chemistry.
Glimpses into the world of tomorrow
One of the most innovative publications in the field of sustainable chemistry and new trends was published by the FAZ-Verlag in 2013. In the year of the 150th anniversary of the Höchst site, Frankfurt, Infraserv looks into the past of the industrial location. But more importantly a focus lies on the future of the chemical industry in Germany and Europe.  The publication “Zukunft Chemie. Perspektiven auf die Welt von morgen“ (Future Chemistry. Glimpses into the world of tomorrow) is dedicated to this exciting and complex topic.
Besides national and international opinion leaders, including Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart, Marijn Dekkers, Prof. Dr. José Goldemberg, Günther H. Oettinger etc., FUNDAMENTAL SCHOOL founder Erik van Buuren was invited to contribute.
In „Products have one life – Materials have many“ Erik van Buuren explains his vision and methodology: “The circular economy is unfolding at this very moment with more and more organisations embracing models for material recovery and reuse at highest quality level. It is time to join and co-create across traditional industry boarders and disciplines to shape a positive agenda for product development and design.”
