Members of the consortium
DIN SPEC 91446 was a collaborative effort. We brought together 16 leading actors from the entire plastic value chain to draft this novel standard. In joint effort together with IKK from Hannover, we brought DIN SPEC 91446 alive in just over 12 months of work. More than 3000 working hours across more than 28 meetings went into the drafting process. With resounding success.
