Very light, structurally stable components made of thermoset fiber composites have been used for many years in motor sports and in the field of high-quality sports vehicles. Carbon components (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, CFRPs) such as roof modules can be efficiently produced […]
More than three years of hard work on urban bulky waste will be presented tomorrow during the final conference of the H2020 URBANREC project. One of the main outcomes is to improve the European framework on bulky waste management. By […]
Nineteen innovation projects joined forces today to boost European Union efforts towards a circular economy for plastics. The ‘Plastics Circularity Multiplier’ group will communicate to policy makers, the public and industry on a range of EU-funded innovations – innovations that […]
High volumes of plastic waste – for example from construction and demolition, aeronautics and electronics – pose a huge economic and environmental challenge. While the best option would be to recycle and reuse, the cost of collecting, sorting and purifying […]
Depending on the size, condition and intended use of a building, the authorities and insurance companies have different requirements. Large-scale and fatal fires in recent years show that the measures taken so far are not sufficient. There are numerous possi-bilities […]
Building insulation currently plays a decisive role in reducing energy consumption and consequently energy costs, and in reducing CO2 emissions from buildings, also in the context of efforts to improve the climate. At the same time, new regulations and requi-rements […]
HAIRMATE, a research and development project carried out by an international consortium, received a grant from the Horizon 2020 program of the European Union to manufacture and test the next generation of aircraft seats: healthier, lighter, cheaper and recyclable. The […]
Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and photovoltaics need large-scale energy storage systems to balance out fluctuations in energy generation. One of the most promising solutions is redox-flow batteries. These systems store energy electrochemically, within liquid electrolytes that can be […]
