Polish-Norwegian sustainable research and innovation ecosystem for improving composites’ waste management and recyclability

The GREEN-COMP project aims at creating a sustainable Polish-Norwegian ecosystem focused on the recycling of Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites.

FRP composites, due to their light weight, structural effectiveness, durability, shapeability and multifunctionality, support the green transition by being widely used in wind farms or transport applications where they limit fuel consumption. However, their green potential is hampered by the slow progress in composite waste management, recyclability, and the use of bio-based, renewable or biodegradable materials.

The GREEN-COMP project also includes some R&D activities which allow to identify the further collaboration possibilities. They will focus mainly on the recycling trials of the selected fibre-reinforced polymer composite waste from defined applications. In order to return the materials and give them the desired properties, new materials will be produced, and performance tests will be carried out, including mechanical ones.

GREEN-COMP will consist of networking, sharing and transfer of knowledge, experience and best practice between Polish and Norwegian scientific and industrial partners aiming at developing research and innovation cooperation in this domain.

The GREEN-COMP project is funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Grants / Norway Grants.

TMBK PARTNERS’ role in the project

TMBK Partners Sp. z o.o. will lead the task dedicated to the project coordination and will be responsible for development of an effective approach for the utilization composite waste in thermoplastic polymers, as well as characterization of the composites’ properties including physicochemical, microstructure observations.
