Personal Details

- Conventional and novel testing systems and technology,

- chemical, physical and microbial tests,

- non-destructive testing systems and technology,

- specific material testing procedures for packaging made of paper, board or plastic test programs and parameters,

- interpretation of test results

Didactic setting – in class (face-to-face) and online teaching:

3 SWS / 6 ECTS (= 150 TU workload students) =

23 TU in class teaching (face-to-face)

1 TU exam (examination supervision by the lecturer)

126 TU distance learning (=workload students)

Presentational methods:

The main content of the lectures will be presented by several guest lecturers in the classroom via powerpoint presentation.

Participatory methods:

Students will participate with a standard blended learning approach. This include online exercises and teaching material, practical laboratory exercises and a team exercise in form of writing laboratory protocols together.

The integrated course is assessed through formative assessment. By

awarding points during the integrated course (ongoing performance

evaluation + 80% mandatory attendance) and not just at the end

through a final examination, several advantages arise:

- The workload is distributed evenly throughout the semester.

- The assessment does not represent a snapshot.

- Teaching methods can be modified and adjusted as needed.

- Students take active responsibility for the learning process and receive

individual courses for action.

In detail, the course is assessed through the following partial

performance evaluations:

1. Laboratory entry exam 1 (20 points)

2. Laboratory protocol 1 (30 points)

3. Laboratory entry exam 2 (20 points)

4. Laboratory protocol 2 (30 points)

The overall assessment of all partial performances will be

communicated by the lecturer in Moodle. The maximum achievable score

for the overall assessment of all partial performances is 100 points.

The overall assessment will be carried out according to the following

grading scale and will be communicated by the course instructor in the

students portal.

> 0 to 59 points => insufficient (5)

> from 60 points => sufficient (4)

> from 70 points => satisfactory (3)

> from 80 points => good (2)

> from 90 points => excellent (1)

- Introduction to recyclability of composite fiber-based materials and their recycling processes

- Performing technical recyclability of fiber-based packaging according to conventional recycling process

- Assessment of the quality of recycled material in the form of handsheets

- Assessment of recyclability of tested packages and identification of recyclability score per CEPI guide/4evergreen protocol

Didactic setting – in class (face-to-face) and online teaching:

1,5 SWS / 3 ECTS (= 75 TU workload students) =

- 16 TU in class teaching (face-to-face)

- 1 TU exam (examination supervision by the lecturer)

- 63 TU distance learning (=workload students)

Presentational methods:

- Presentation of theoretical background for assessment of technical recyclability (4 TU)

Participatory methods:

- Moodle test for assessment of knowledge required to apply CEPI test method

- Laboratory exercise where students practice every step of recyclability test method (5+7 TU)

Lab Protocol is developed by students evaluating and discussing findings of the experiment
