AIMPLAS and TNO conclude that solvolysis is the best method for the recycling of biocomposites from the aeronautical sector.

Throughout the study, 12 methods were analysed for six different biocomposites, with solvolysis and pyrolysis being the two most promising alternatives tested on a large scale in a pilot plant. The results show that pyrolysis emits 17% more carbon dioxide and consumes twice as much heat as solvolysis. The aviation industry is increasing the use […]

The ELIOT project will improve the environmental sustainability of aeronautics with new biocomposite recycling methods.

In anticipation of strong growth in the coming decades, the aeronautical sector is working on the development of promising technologies to minimize its impact on the environment. High-performance composites have established themselves as one of the keys to reducing aircraft weight and, consequently, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the sector has also addressed […]
