Turck has completely updated its IMX12-CCM control cabinet guard. The devices are now commissioned via haptic buttons instead of light sensors, making them even more intuitive. The temperature range has also been improved: a range of +25...70 degrees enables the devices to be used in control cabinets for remote I/O, which are often installed in areas that can become hot due to neighbouring systems...
Today, the majority of consumer goods and everyday items are made from petroleum-based plastics. In Germany alone, around six million tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year. About half of this is mechanically recycled into new materials; the rest is used for energy recovery. The incineration of this waste results in the release of CO2, a greenhouse gas. It is therefore important to keep more plastics in the material cycle for climate and environmental reasons. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes are developing new ideas and processes to significantly improve the mechanical recycling rate of plastics as part of the Waste4Future flagship project.
