H2Eau Projects is a yacht refit & design management company headquartered in Plymouth, UK, specialising in delivering sustainable solutions for "upcycling" sailing yachts by utilising innovative marine tech and the very latest build materials.Through Innovate UK Edge and Innovation funding for Sustainable UK Materials and Manufacturing the project is being supported to develop innovative production mould yacht tooling.The project is focused heavily on sustainability and technology and aims to utilise recycled carbon fibre (rCF) with hybrid recycled core and bio-based epoxy resin to develop a super lightweight and structurally strong innovative composite matrix based on sustainable methods of manufacture to support towards a greener marine industry.Materials used in typical manufacture are not optimised, not recyclable or sustainable and the average discarded waste of tooling weight is a lot more compared to the boat built. Currently, unfortunately the typical boat building mould tooling is not designed or manufactured supporting towards sustainable manufacture.The project team assembled from leading marine industry experts and manufacturers and project managed by Dan Couchman of H2eau, brings together a unique mix of multi-disciplinary skills and cross-industry expertise in materials, chemistry, processing, engineering, design, and innovation in sustainable composite technologies. The project is also being supported by the National Composite Centre and the SW Marine Business Technology Centre at Oceansgate in Plymouth. The support opens access to the latest technology, composite manufacturing processes and leading technical expertise and skills.The project's material focus is on carbon fibre, which has long been the preferred ultimate material of choice for the manufacturing of boats since it's an extremely strong, yet light weight material and provides a significant performance increase. Unfortunately, 95% of carbon fibre ends up in landfill. Since it is not biodegradable, it will stay in the ground forever so the project is very keen to find solutions that will work within boat building to reduce waste particularly from non-biodegradable materials, as this is an even more relevant important factor in saving the planet. The project has therefore been trialling and testing the latest generation carbon fibre recovery systems, in particular a recycled range of 100% recycled carbon fibre nonwoven mats. These mats provide an excellent balance of mechanical properties, formability and high-quality surface finish. Utilising recycled carbon fibre is a game changing approach to marine manufacturing and where technology meets sustainability.The project completion is scheduled for October 2023 when results will be published.

H2Eau Projects是一家总部位于英国普利茅斯的游艇改装和设计管理公司，专注于为“升级回收”提供可持续解决方案通过利用创新的海洋技术和最新的建筑材料来制造帆船游艇。通过创新英国边缘和可持续英国材料和制造的创新资金，该项目正在支持开发创新的生产模具游艇工具。该项目主要集中在可持续性和技术，旨在利用再生碳纤维（rCF）与混合再生芯和生物基环氧树脂，开发一种基于可持续制造方法的超轻质和结构坚固的创新复合材料基质，以支持更绿色的海洋工业。典型制造中使用的材料没有优化，不可回收或可持续的和平均丢弃的浪费工具的重量是很多相比，船建成。遗憾的是，目前典型的造船模具工具的设计或制造并不支持可持续制造。项目团队由领先的海洋行业专家和制造商组成，由H2eau的Dan Couchman管理，汇集了材料，化学，加工，工程，设计和可持续复合材料技术创新方面的多学科技能和跨行业专业知识。该项目还得到了国家复合材料中心和普利茅斯Oceansgate的SW海洋商业技术中心的支持。该项目的材料重点是碳纤维，长期以来，碳纤维一直是制造船只的首选材料，因为它是一种非常坚固，但重量轻的材料，并提供显着的性能提升。不幸的是，95%的碳纤维最终被填埋。由于它是不可生物降解的，它将永远留在地下，所以该项目非常热衷于寻找解决方案，将在造船中工作，以减少废物，特别是来自不可生物降解的材料，因为这是一个更相关的重要因素，在拯救地球。因此，该项目一直在试验和测试最新一代的碳纤维回收系统，特别是100%回收碳纤维无纺布垫的回收范围。这些垫提供了机械性能、成形性和高质量表面光洁度的出色平衡。利用再生碳纤维是船舶制造业的一种改变游戏规则的方法，也是技术符合可持续发展的地方。该项目计划于2023年10月完成，届时将公布结果。
