Sustainability Conference: Sustainability of raw materials for composites: boosting the circular revolution

Composite materials are widely used in today’s aircrafts, cars, wind turbines and ships. They are in many aspects very sustainable (lightweight, long lasting, etc.); however, for composites materials to be fully circular, new solutions have to be developed and implemented. Having a more careful approach in the design of Composite Materials for circularity, which in turn implies choosing in view of their recycling and reducing the environmental impact of the whole lifecycle is definitely the first step to obtain sustainable rewarding results.
