AIMPLAS coordinates the European ELIOT project with the aim of developing new cost-effective recycling technologies to guarantee the sustainability of aeronautics components. The project started in July 2020 and will last 32 months. One of the consortium partners is TNO, the Dutch research Center. The project will analyze different recycling methods, including mechanical, thermal, chemical and biological recycling.

New Solutions for Recovering Biocomposites

In the search for new solutions for recovering biocomposites based on circular economy goals, the project will review current composite recycling technologies to analyze the most feasible alternatives so they can then be adapted to the characteristics of biocomposites and tested to scale in the laboratory. Finally, the project is expected to demonstrate technical feasibility at pre-industrial scale.

The ELIOT Project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program within the framework of the Clean Sky Joint Technology Initiative under grant agreement number 886416.
