EMPHASIZING, described as Enhancing Material Properties of Recycled Glass Fibres Through Sizing, targets the wind energy-to-automotive sectors to address the challenge of recycling composite structures currently landfilled or incinerated.
ObjectivesThe project will introduce low-cost, high-quality and high yield, reclaimed fibres into automotive production, and develop a viable value chain to exploit the resulting recyclates, i.e., upcycled glass fibres for subsequent lifecycles.
ImpactsThe project partners are Lead Partner Longworth, Gen2plank Limited, EMS-CHEMIE (UK) LTD, Ford Technologies Limited, Gestamp, the Brunel Composites Centre (Brunel University London) and TWI (Advanced Composites and Adhesives section).
