Circular Design of Composite Products: A Framework Based on Insights from Literature and Industry Composite materials are an attractive material choice as they enable lightweight,… Lees verder »Circular design framework
Composite materials offer many advantages during the use phase, but recovery at the end of a lifecycle remains a challenge. Structural reuse, where an end… Lees verder »Structural reuse through segmentation
How to design a composite product to facilitate structural reuse? Structurally reusing parts of end-of-life products as construction elements has been demonstrated on a small… Lees verder »Structural reuse: design case study
A significant part of wind energy in the Netherlands is generated by offshore wind farms at sea. In the coming decades, the number of wind… Lees verder »Offshore wind farm decommissioning
Project Ecobuk aims to demonstrate a Circular Economy for products containing composite materials. Together with partners from industry and knowledge institutes across Europe, we re-design… Lees verder »Ecobulk progress reports
What if we could add value by repairing a product? We put the idea to test by repairing a broken bowl. Conny Bakker and Marcel… Lees verder »Value Added Repair
Much of the value of composites is in their composition; attempts to separate the fibres from the resin have so far only resulted in low… Lees verder »Blade table
This bench preserves the composite material’s structural value by cutting panels directly from a used wind turbine blade. The slotted bench was made to explore… Lees verder »Slotted Bench
