Bio-based innovations for industrial applications: stakeholder event on 24 April 2024 in Brussels presents latest breakthroughs and key findings from research on circular bio-based solutions
Organised by two EU-funded research projects, CHAMPION and PERFECOAT, this stakeholder event is dedicated to the latest developments in bio-based solutions for a variety of materials such as coatings, paints, adhesives and detergents
Sonichem is leading a £600K Innovate UK-funded consortium to revolutionise the automotive industry with sustainable, bio-based materials
One emerging solution to this problem is biorefining, which offers a method of processing low-carbon feedstocks into intermediate chemicals that can be made into renewable plastics for vehicles
Hannover Messe 2023: IfBB presents bioplastics for high-temperature applications in automobiles
The research project "HoT-BRo2- Bioplastics for high-temperature applications" will undertake targeted material developments and modifications in order to make thermoplastic bioplastics and bio-composites applicable across all sectors in the high-temperature range
Asahi Kasei and Microwave Chemical launch joint demonstration project for chemical recycling of polyamide 66 using microwave-based technology
The process utilizes microwaves to depolymerize2 PA66 and directly obtain the monomers hexamethylenediamine (HMD) and adipic acid (ADA), which can then be used to manufacture new PA66
INCA Renewable Technologies secures USD 40M Funding Commitment
INCA’s team has deployed their decades of award-winning experience in fibre processing and bio-composites innovation and manufacturing to produce lighter prepregs for the automotive industry, large dimensional panels to replace plywood in any construction application and compounded pellets to replace glass reinforced plastics
Asahi Kasei collaborates on development of recycling technology for inexpensive, high-quality carbon fiber – Enabling a closed-loop recycling system for carbon fiber
Together with its project partners at the National Institute of Technology at Kitakyushu College and the Tokyo University of Science, Asahi Kasei has developed a recycling method that allows carbon fibers to be extracted from CFRP or carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) used in automobiles
