Abstract

Sustainability grand challenges demand that innovative manufacturing, recycling and remanufacturing processes is to be optimized to be energy and material efficient. This should be done to reduce environmental burden and process cost and also to get more from less with improved quality. My presentation will be focused on resource efficient recycling of heterogeneous composite waste material. The aim is to share some of the research focus, directions and industrial opportunities to address the growing problem of composite waste. The presentation will be based on the work being undertaken in the EXHUME project “Efficient X-sector use of Heterogeneous Materials in Manufacturing
