Novel recycling for sustainable GRP Composites in industry (greenGRP)

有限的原材料供应使全球经济增长模式陷入危机。目前，寻找新能源的最可行的替代方案是使用可以回收、再生或多次重复使用的材料来设计和开发产品。该项目将提供一种解决方案，能够为循环经济的这一基本原则做出贡献，通过显著减少产品全生命周期的碳足迹，最大限度地减少能源和新资源的使用，确保可持续性。这项拟议的创新将允许从欧洲和世界其他地区每年产生的大量玻璃钢废料中回收有价值的材料。DC的解决方案将提供易于再制造的材料。最初针对DC已经提供的铁路行业等基础设施市场，这些材料的更多应用将在国家电网、汽车、航空航天、海事等行业进行调查。

The limited availability of raw materials has the global economic growth model in crisis. Currently, the most viable alternative to finding new sources is to design and develop products using materials that can be recycled, regenerated, or re-used several times. This project will provide a solution that will enable contributing to this basic principle of the circular economy, ensuring sustainability by minimising the use of energy and new resources with a significant reduction of the product whole-life carbon footprint. The proposed innovation will allow the recovery of valuable materials from the large amounts of GRP waste being produced yearly across Europe and the restof the world. DC’s solution will deliver materials that can easily be remanufactured. Initially targeted at infrastructure markets such as the rail industry that DC already supplies, additional applications for these materials will be investigated in sectors including national grid, automotive, aerospace, maritime.
