Recyclability of coated paper PR

Recyclability of coated paper PR | WS2025/26

Content

- 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

Teaching method

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

Examination

Immanente Leistungsüberprüfung

 

Immanente Leistungsüberprüfung, Standard

(In detail, the course is assessed through the following partial performance evaluations: 1. Online test on theortical background (50 points) 2. Lab protocol (40 points) 3. Active participation in the lab course (10 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) )
