Reusable composites in the circular economy: innovative approaches
- The poor recyclability of composite materials poses a significant challenge for the circular economy. Our white paper highlights innovative strategies that enable the sustainable use of resources through the targeted design of components and the use of detachable joining technologies. We show how this class of materials can play a key role in the modern circular economy that goes beyond mere recycling.
- Introduction to circular economy and composites: Get an overview of the importance and challenges of composites in the context of the circular economy.
- Designing detachable joints: Learn how intelligent design approaches facilitate the disassembly and recycling of composite materials.
- Practical examples from the automotive industry: Specific case studies show how these technologies are already being used successfully in the automotive industry.
- Comparison of life cycle assessments (LCA): A comparison of the life cycle assessments of conventional and circular vehicle platforms to illustrate the advantages of circular approaches.
- Strategies for reducing emissions: Methods for reducing emissions and increasing resource efficiency in practice.
Find out how innovative design solutions for composite materials not only help to reduce emissions, but also significantly increase resource efficiency. Our practical examples and proven methods offer you valuable insights to make your projects sustainable and future-proof.
This white paper provides you with the knowledge you need to fully exploit the potential of composite materials in the circular economy and offers concrete approaches that can be implemented directly in practice.
