energy concepts | Smart energy | What will our energy supply look like in the future? This is a difficult question for which there is no clear-cut answer. But we can describe alternative developments - that's exactly what we're doing with our Foresight series. In our second scenario, the world's energy system is under central control – however, the electricity does not come from renewable energies but from highly developed coal-fired power plants. The effects of climate change are very unevenly distributed in this alternative future and are accepted by the majority of people.

Sustainability and climate protection | Worth knowing | The sustainable design of packaging is a major challenge – and the unpackaged movement is gaining ground, and rightly so. But it doesn’t always have to be like this: with environmentally friendly packaging materials, we can do a lot for our planet. As part of “Recycle Week,” we present tinplate, one of the most sustainable packaging materials in the world.

Automotive-sector | Engineering | innovation | trends of technology | For many years, high-tech wheels made of the ultra-lightweight carbon material were reserved exclusively for racing professionals. A start-up team at thyssenkrupp has finally made the dream of private motorbike fans come true: carbon wheels approved for road use. It is the story of a unique product that has now returned to the site of its first challenge – the Snaefell Mountain Course on the infamous Isle of Man.
