The following video depict the process of composite manufacturing using conventional biobased resin and natural fibers.

Within the Recysite project it has been demonstrated the production possibility of green composites based on natural fibres sources from agro-wastes, bio-based resin (ELO-epoxidized linseed oil) and humins (a side stream of bio-polymers production). Additionally, it is possible to recycle these composites up to 10 times.

Several real demonstrators were manufactured and validated for the transportation and construction sector. However, high mechanical requirements and fire protection legislation have to be fulfilled in some end applications, for these reasons, the amount of bio-based content varied from 7,5% for railway wagon floor up to 90% for the modular panels and ventilated facades in the construction sector.

This project provides the solutions for the composite industry where bio-based and renewable materials can be introduced in different percentage according to sector requirements, without compromising the quality and also lowering the prices.
