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, rLightBioCom 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.

新型轻质高性能复合材料(HPC)和高效可持续加工技术将在所有应用领域产生巨大的环境和性能效益。然而，由于加工时间长、价格高和可回收性低等方面的限制，目前高性能混凝土的可持续应用仅限于大型行业。为了克服这些限制，rLightBioCom提出了一种高性能混凝土制造和回收方式的范式转变，开启了轻质高性能混凝土的可持续设计生产。因此，该项目将实现r-LightBioCom成果的新的循环价值链，有助于实现与环境有关的欧盟目标，并减少高碳化物废物的产生和不可持续化石资源的使用。为此，将初步开发具有固有可回收性的新型先进生物基和可回收高性能混凝土材料的可持续目录(至少3种新型生物树脂、4种新的生物质衍生纳米填料和添加剂，以及3种可持续纤维纺织产品系列)。为了减少当前相关的制造成本以及高能耗和高排放，将为新的材料目录开发高效的处理技术(两种新的快速固化技术)与回收技术相结合，以减少废物产生并引发循环。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高性能混凝土的设计、建模和系统优化，导致持续可持续的目录增长，并以具有竞争力的成本纳入新的生物基、可回收轻质高性能混凝土家族。所有结果将在汽车、基础设施和航空行业的3个用例中得到验证，并带有具体的业务案例，有助于在欧盟高性能计算行业建立新的弹性、可持续和创新的价值链，促进范式从线性向循环的转变。
