A Safe, Sustainable
and Performant Design
towards the future lightweight materials
REPOXYBLE is a EU funded project which applies a holistic approach to develop cost and energy effective, recyclable and sustainable biobased epoxy composites, while maintaining their high performance and functional properties during their use phase, by following a multidisciplinary innovative development at every stage of the composites life-cycle: from raw materials, manufacturing and use phase to end of life. It will contribute to the development of a new generation of multifunctional, safe and sustainable-by-design plastics.

Chemical recycling to unlock circularity of advanced composite materials
First REPOXYBLE workshop: Horizon Europe research in the field is showing the way forward Sustainability of composite materials: the Horizon Europe investments Composite materials display enhanced physical and chemical properties, allowing for lightweight tailored physical-chemical properties, thus multi-functional and high performance even in extreme applications. The versatility of these
Which is the future of recycling composites?
Developing new recycling technologies is crucial to ensure the sustainability of advanced materials: the results of REPOXYBLE workshop Fiber-reinforced composites are amongst the enabling materials for the green and digital transitions in the transport sector. They allow for lightweighting, purpose-built functions, and high performances; however, their overall safety and
REPOXYBLE reaches half its lifespan: a week full of activities
Activities are in full swing as we are halfway through REPOXYBLE Last week was a very important one for us at REPOXYBLE, with four days of meetings, events, and networking. We started the 4th of June with our internal meeting for the 18th month of the project: we
EU Cluster Day 2024: workshop on industry & Green Deal
Workshop “Efficient, Lightweight, Sustainable Advanced Materials – Supporting EU industries to meet the Green Deal targets” Thursday 6th June 2024, 08:45-16:00, Brussels The European Commission promotes a workshop on a crucial goal of the EU industry: the development and adoption of innovative, efficient, lightweight, and sustainable advanced materials and
Novel polymers for structural composites: the SUSMATx workshop
Workshop “Sustainable matrices for Structural Composites: processing and mechanical performance” The end of life of thermoset matrices used in most current structural composites is problematic, because of their irreversible nature: technical fibers, such as carbon fibers with a huge embedded energy, cannot be recovered, and repurposing of components is not
