High-Performance Composites
Low Environmental Impact
r–LightBioCom
About the project
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
