Fibres & hardener recovery: consolidating our results during 36M Consortium Meeting
REPOXYBLE just had its 36th month Consortium Meeting, hosted by our partner BOKU in the facilities of Institute of Waste Management and Circularity, in Wien. We successfully achieved two more milestones: one is the recovery of the reinforcement fibres, the other is the recovery of the hardener component forming our thermoset through chemical recycling, allowing […]
Experts consultation on composite recycling & circularity
Share your experience on recycling technologies and circular business models for composite materials REPOXYBLE launched a survey on circularity and sustainability aspects of resin-based composites. This survey will help to develop practical advice for research, industry, and policy makers in developing new materials, technologies and processes, and in defining circular value chain and […]
Advanced materials innovation: results from NanoInnovation event
Case studies and state-of-the-art of composites and additive manufacturing for high-demanding sectors: REPOXYBLE session at NanoInnovation REPOXYBLE participated to the 10th edition of the NanoInnovation Conference and Exhibition, the international event dedicated to innovation, nanotechnologies and R&D. This year edition was populated by more than 60 scientific sessions, divided into 10 technical workshops covering […]
REPOXYBLE co-organizes 13th Venice Training School
Hands-on SSbD for advanced materials: REPOXYBLE co-organizes the 13th Venice Training School REPOXYBLE is co-organizer of the 13th Venice Training School, a collaborative space to explore together how to design and assess materials that are not only high-performing, but also safe for people and the planet. Promoted by the EU project SUNRISE, this year […]
Closing the Loop: Meet the experts behind REPOXYBLE recyclable composites
Wondering how REPOXYBLE solutions work, how can they be applied, and which benefits they will bring? Let’s ask directly to our partners! To dive more in the project activities, we are interviewing our experts and presenting the key aspects of our work and results so far, from the depolymerizable composites to their use in automotive […]
Chemical recycling to unlock circularity of advanced composite materials
First REPOXYBLE workshop: Horizon Europe research in the field is showing the way forward Sustainability of composite materials: the Horizon Europe investments Composite materials display enhanced physical and chemical properties, allowing for lightweight tailored physical-chemical properties, thus multi-functional and high performance even in extreme applications. The versatility of these advanced materials finds applications in […]
Which is the future of recycling composites?
Developing new recycling technologies is crucial to ensure the sustainability of advanced materials: the results of REPOXYBLE workshop Fiber-reinforced composites are amongst the enabling materials for the green and digital transitions in the transport sector. They allow for lightweighting, purpose-built functions, and high performances; however, their overall safety and sustainability profile still suffers from […]
REPOXYBLE reaches half its lifespan: a week full of activities
Activities are in full swing as we are halfway through REPOXYBLE Last week was a very important one for us at REPOXYBLE, with four days of meetings, events, and networking. We started the 4th of June with our internal meeting for the 18th month of the project: we reached the middle of our […]
Novel polymers for structural composites: the SUSMATx workshop
Workshop “Sustainable matrices for Structural Composites: processing and mechanical performance” The end of life of thermoset matrices used in most current structural composites is problematic, because of their irreversible nature: technical fibers, such as carbon fibers with a huge embedded energy, cannot be recovered, and repurposing of components is not feasible because of the impossibility […]
Composites recycling: which method fits the best for REPOXYBLE?
Composites recycling: which method fits the best for REPOXYBLE? REPOXYBLE aims to develop a new generation of multifunctional, safe and sustainable by design epoxy-based composites. Affordable recycling, both economically and environmentally, is a crucial aspect to make these composites competitive on the market, and capable of replace the fossil-based ones currently used. But which recycling […]
