Promoting a paradigm shift in the way high performance composites are manufactured and recycled
r–LightBioCom
r-LightBioCom is an EU-funded project that applies a multidisciplinary approach to develop new sustainable, cost-effective and energy-efficient lightweight high-performance composites with inherent recycling properties in combination with novel efficient processing and recycling techniques. The environmental impact of the new high-performance composites will be reduced during their production, operation and after reaching their final lifetime, while offering improved mechanical properties, weight reduction and new functionalities.
MATERIALS
New advanced bio-based and recycled high-performance materials with inherent recyclability properties
PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES
Efficient processing techniques combined with recycling technologies
METHODS & TOOLS
for a standardised, holistic sustainable high-performance composite design, modelling and systematic optimisation
Application 1: Spoiler (exterior)
Application 2: Trunk floor (interior)
Composite pultruded profiles for tunnel lining
