MARine Litter in Europe Seas: Social AwarenesS and CO-Responsability (MARLISCO)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,

Marine environments are central to human well being, but they are also extensively threatened by our activities. The MARLISCO proposal seeks to raise societal awareness of both the problems and the potential solutions relating to a key issue threatening marine habitats worldwide; the accumulation of marine litter. A major objective of this proposal is to understand and subsequently facilitate soci ...

Innovative advanced Wood-based Composite Materials and Components (WOODY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Currently the world of polymeric composite materials is almost exclusively based on fossil derived components. This fact represents a strong issue, as the non-renewable global oil resources are being exploited year after year, also as a consequence of the ever growing demand for plastics engineering materials. WOODY Project goal is to develop new composite panels and laminates from wood derived re ...

Complex structural and multifunctional Parts from enhanced Wood-based Composites - eWPC (BioStruct)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Despite a lot of research activities carried out in the field of Wood Plastic Compounds there is still a certain lack of interest in the commercial market for this new class of materials. BioStruct will help to overcome these barriers in the market success by the development of the next material generation, so-called enhanced Wood Plastic Composites eWPC, avoiding the most important drawbacks in c ...

Recycling Thermoset Composites of the SST (EURECOMP)

Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

"The goal of this project is to set up a new route to recycle composites, which will decrease the cost of production waste disposal by 50%. The whole composites sector is now aware of the environmental rules about wastes from composites production (directive on End-of-life Vehicles 2000/53/EC or directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) which apply to their industry. The r ...

Aligned Natural Fibres and Textiles for Use in Structural Composite Applications (NATEX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

Biocomposites manufactured from natural materials such as fibres and bioderived polymers offer a sustainable alternative to traditional ones, but at present they are not available for use in structural applications. NATEX will develop aligned textiles from natural fibres suitable for use as high strength reinforcing fabrics to produce structural composite parts using bio and oil based thermoplasti ...
