On 17th November, our colleague Ferrie van Hattum presented at the AZL GmbH Hybrid Thermoplastic Composites Workgroup Meeting in Aachen, Germany, on TPAC’s progress on recycling of thermoplastic composites and biobased thermoplastic composites. In the meetings, professionals from research and industry meet, present and discuss their latest developments. Earlier, on 7th October, [...]
In the Post-Use Plastic Foil solutions project we develop low-cost techniques to reprocess thin-walled waste plastics from local waste sources into products. Heavily polluted plastics, such as post-consumer packaging, often have lower mechanical properties, as separating and cleaning of the various plastics involved is difficult and expensive. One option is to reinforce [...]
In the project "CTCP - Circular Thermoplastic Composite Production", 6 SMEs and 2 Universities of Applied Sciences carried out R&D on the circularity of thermoplastic composites. The project, financed by Regieorgaan SIA, part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) through a RAAK-MKB subsidy, was successfully completed earlier this year. The following [...]
