EuReComp’s 42M Meeting
EuReComp project’s 42-month meeting was held on October 1st and 2nd, hosted by APM. Partners discussed the latest updates, final milestones, and the remaining steps toward the successful completion of the project, which advances sustainable composite recycling and circular economy practices. The meeting included engaging discussions, on-site technical exchanges, and planning sessions for the final phase.
In addition to coordinating the project, R-NanoLab contributed significantly to the technical work by managing recycled carbon fibers through electropolymerization and surface sizing processes. Solvolysis residues have been used as precursors in a CVD reactor to produce nanomaterials, while filament extrusion with recycled fibers has supported the production of demonstrator components.
R-NanoLab also leads Work Package 7: Training and Life-Long Learning, focusing on the development of a training framework that integrates modern learning approaches and digital tools to support skills development and knowledge transfer in composite recycling.
The meeting concluded with a tour of APM’s facilities, showcasing the demonstrator cabin unit. Key design features, such as wall connections, openings, and 3D-printed components, were developed to enable the use of reclaimed materials. The demo highlighted how recovered and recycled materials can be integrated into new products, complemented by ongoing work on reusing materials from wind turbine blades.
