“…Following from the abovementioned challenges regarding the implementation of SOTs, the success of a R&D process in this context depends on the early integration of different stakeholders (Gasde et al, 2020). Technology selection is a complex, multi-criteria decision problem for companies, which especially applies for technology-based companies (Ma et al, 2013).…”

Given the need for systemic changes to reach a sustainability transition from a fossil‐based toward a bio‐based economy, it is crucial to align different actors' expectations along the value chain when developing and commercializing sustainability‐oriented technologies (SOTs). To analyze what different actors along the value chain look for when selecting SOTs, this study draws upon a group concept mapping approach based on a group discussion and a subsequent sorting and rating process of selection criteria. Applied to the case of the bio‐based economy, this study seeks to aggregate the perceptions of four different stakeholder groups along the value chain, that is, (1) agricultural and feedstock, (2) (bio)chemical, (3) consumer industries, and (4) consultancies and networks. We derive 11 different categories subsuming 59 criteria that have been perceived as relevant when selecting SOTs. Results show that selection criteria related to the future competitiveness, the public acceptance, and the sustainability aspects of the technology are perceived as highly relevant for most actors when selecting SOTs. Further, we summarize the 11 categories into four dimensions involving (1) market environment and viability, (2) corporate strategy and technology integration, (3) capabilities and knowledge exchange, and (4) institutional and regulatory frames related criteria. We contribute to sustainability transition literature by providing, first, a conceptual framework for relevant selection criteria of SOTs from a value chain spanning perspective; and second, areas of coherence versus noncoherence in technology evaluation across different value chain actors allowing targeted support initiatives to facilitate the technology transfer in the context of sustainability transitions.

“…The methodological approach of the IISA [30] consists of two main elements: stakeholder inclusion in three successive steps (analysis, dialogue, integration, also see [31][32][33]) and sustainability assessment of the innovation at an early stage (also see [31][32][33]). Primary stakeholders (within the value chain of plastic packaging) and secondary stakeholders (from legislation, state agencies, governments and NGO) are involved.…”

To improve the recycling quality of plastics packaging and achieve high recycling rates new identification and sorting technologies are required. Tracer-based-sorting (TBS) is an innovative identification technology based on fluorescent tracers and a corresponding detection unit. TBS can be considered a radical technology change towards a circular economy for plastics and to support sustainability as it has the potential to render several established sorting and/or recycling steps obsolete. This article shows which drivers and barriers are perceived by stakeholders with regard to the implementation of TBS in the market and how challenges are addressed responsibly in the early phases of the innovation process. Influencing external factors and framework conditions of TBS are identified and suitable business models for TBS in a circular economy are discussed. Further, practical recommendations on how to optimize technology and market development for TBS are provided. To obtain these results a mixed method approach of integrated innovation and sustainability analysis, external environment analysis (PESTEL analysis), and business model development approaches was chosen. The research results can be understood as a practical contribution towards a responsible and sustainable implementation of a radical technology-based innovation for a circular economy of plastics.

“…Daraus werden immer wieder Optimierungsvorschläge abgeleitet, die dann in die technischen Entwicklungsarbeiten einfließen (vgl. ). Der erste Dialog in einem Workshop im September 2018 fand mit Verpackungsherstellern (5 Vertreter), Inverkehrbringern (4), Entsorgern/Sortierern (1), Recyclingunternehmen (1), Politik/Behörden (7) und Vertretern aus sonstigen Institutionen und Organisationen (5) statt.…”

In Deutschland werden weniger als die Hälfte aller Kunststoffabfälle werkstofflich verwertet. Eine Option um die zukünftigen Recyclingvorgaben zu erreichen ist die Verwendung anorganischer fluoreszierender Markermaterialien. Dieser Tracer‐Based Sorting(TBS)‐Ansatz wird bereits zur PVC‐Mahlgut‐Sortierung eingesetzt. Auf Anti‐Stokes‐Fluoreszenz basierende Markierungsstoffe in ppm‐Konzentrationen schaffen ein System von Sortiercodes, das in Zukunft hochwertige Rezyklate ermöglicht. TBS wird für die Sortierung von Kunststoffverpackungen aus Haushalten entwickelt und getestet.
