OFI Österreichisches Forschungsinstitut für Chemie und Technik

At the independent testing and research institute OFI, based in Vienna, a highly qualified, interdisciplinary team specializes in finding forward-looking solutions for complex issues. Around 120 employees accompany innovation processes and provide support with research & development, testing, inspection, certification, knowledge transfer and consulting.

One focus is the optimization of packaging solutions. OFI has been testing existing packaging for decades, developing it further together with the industry and actively researching new, innovative solutions. As an ACR (Austrian Cooperative Research) member, OFI always focuses on applicability.

The experts in the Packaging & Recycling department are currently working on sustainable materials, innovative recycling processes and smart packaging solutions. Degradable bio-packaging plays a role here, as does the minimization of packaging material, the evaluation of recyclability and the assurance of product quality through innovative testing methods.
