New lightweight High-Performance Composite (HPC) materials and efficient sustainable processing technologies will have an enormous environmental and performance benefit in all sectors of application. However, current sustainable HPC application is limited to large sectors due to their limitations in terms of long processing times, high prices and low recyclability. To overcome these limitations, r-LightBioCom propose a paradigm shift in the way HPC are manufactured and recycled, unlocking sustainable-by-design production of lightweight HPC. Therefore, the project will enable new circular value chains towards r-LightBioCom results, contributing to environmental-related EU goals and reducing the HPC waste generation and the use of non-sustainable fossil resources. To this end, a sustainable catalogue of new advanced biobased and recycled HPC materials will be initially developed with inherent recyclability properties (at least 3 new types of bio-resins, 4 new biomass-derived nanofillers and additives, and 3 families of sustainable fibre-based textile products). To reduce current associated manufacturing costs and high energy consumptions and emissions, efficient processing techniques will be developed (2 new fast curing techniques) combined with recycling technologies for the new catalogue of materials to reduce waste generation and induce circularity. A new open method and related tools (Coupled Ecological Optimisation framework) will promote and standardise holistic sustainable HPC design, modelling and systematic optimisation, leading to continuous sustainable catalogue growth and inclusion of new families of biobased, recyclable lightweight HPC at competitive cost. All results will be validated in 3 use cases at automotive, infrastructure and aeronautic industries with specific business cases, contributing to establishing new resilient, sustainable and innovative value chains in the EU HPC industry, promoting a change of paradigm from linear to circular ones.

新的轻质高性能复合材料（HPC）材料和有效的可持续处理技术将在应用程序的所有领域都具有巨大的环境和性能益处。但是，当前的可持续HPC应用程序仅限于大型部门，因为它们在较长的处理时间，高价和低可回收性方面的限制。为了克服这些局限性，R-L-Lightbiocom提出了HPC制造和回收方式的范式转变，从而释放了轻巧的HPC的可持续性生产。因此，该项目将使新的循环价值链带入r-lightbiocom结果，从而有助于与环境相关的欧盟目标，并减少HPC废物产生和使用不可持续的化石资源。为此，最初将开发出新的先进生物基和回收的HPC材料的可持续目录，以固有的可回收性特性（至少3种新型的生物金属，4种新型生物质纳米填料和添加剂，以及3种可持续纤维基于可持续的纤维纺织品的家族）。为了降低当前相关的制造成本以及高能源消耗和排放，将开发有效的加工技术（2种新的快速固化技术），并结合回收技术，用于新的材料目录，以减少废物产生并引起循环系统。一种新的开放方法和相关工具（耦合生态优化框架）将促进和标准化整体可持续的HPC设计，建模和系统优化，从而以有效的成本以持续的可持续目录的增长以及包含新的可回收，可回收的轻质HPC的新家族。所有结果都将在具有特定业务案例的汽车，基础设施和航空行业的3个用例中进行验证，这有助于在欧盟HPC行业建立新的弹性，可持续和创新的价值链，从而促进了从线性变为圆形的范式的变化。
