Design for Recycling (D4R)

AI Quick Summary

High-performance composite components are used in many areas. Due to the two-dimensional load application, bonding is a frequently used joining technique. The challenge is to investigate joining techniques for product design that enable a reduction of material usage and/or detachable joints.Objectives:Guideline for resource-efficient construction methodsReduction of material use (e.g. through frictional/positive connections)Detachable connection techniques for more efficient recyclingImplementation Partner: Connova AGCONNOVA's focus is on marketable high-performance fibre composite structures.
