[ Coperion GmbH ]

Stuttgart, June 2025 – The University of Utrecht has chosen a Coperion STS 25 Mc11 twin screw extruder for a chemical plastics recycling research project. A research group headed by Assistant Professor Dr. Ina Vollmer will undertake comprehensive investigations of the mechanical-chemical conversion of mixed plastic waste using catalysts. Thanks to its intensive mixing effect and efficient energy intake, the Coperion STS twin screw extruder will assume a central function in this promising and relatively unexplored area.
