JEC-Composites Innovation Awards 2025 \u201cSport, Leisure & Recreation\u201d, \u00a9 ITA<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Scientists from the Institut f\u00fcr Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University were honoured with two JEC Awards at the JEC World 2025 in Paris.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prize in the \u2018Building and Civil Engineering\u2019 category was awarded for the development of Carbon Fibre Stone (CFS). Environmentally friendly CFS can save up to 40% CO2<\/sub> in the construction of house walls. CFS is an innovative material that combines stone and bio-based fibres. It serves as an environmentally friendly replacement for CO2<\/sub>-intensive concrete in house walls. Each square metre of a CFS wall binds 59 kg of CO2<\/sub>, while conventional cement walls release 98 kg of CO2<\/sub>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ITA won the second JEC award in the \u201cSports, Leisure & Recreation\u201d category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honey Roots technology is a sustainable surfboard construction realised through a 3D laminate that improves the mechanics and eliminates the need for consumables for the infusion process. The choice of materials is consistently bio-based or recycled to minimise the carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to our project partners Techno Carbon Technologies GbR and Kanoa Surfboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PhD student and project leader Lars Wollert<\/strong> summarises: “These awards are a recognition of our research activities and show what the ITA stands for <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. the development of innovative products and processes together with a great network of industrial partners, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. openness for versatile application areas in which fibres of all kinds bring advantages and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. research in the context of sustainability.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
