Utilizing a novel recycling route, the panel is lighter, more cost-effective and of recycled thermoplastic composites.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.repl.2020.08.003 (First …

The project ‘Motion on the water’ is set midway in the Maashaven in Rotterdam and connects the two sides by a large circular floating armature offering various facilities for dance and recreation on the water, including a fixed dance theatre, a pool, boating opportunity, and the like. As a connector …

Currently, the amount of post-consumer textile waste is growing. Unfortunately, the European recycling infrastructure is lacking, preventing efficient recycling operations. It is still difficult to set up production lines of high-quality products with shredded textile waste fibres, yet the demand for …

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …

In this paper, we explore the role of entrepreneurs in stimulating the transition towards a new system in which marine plastic pollution is mitigated. To reduce plastic pollution of waterways and oceans, all types of system actors are needed. Producers need to increase recycled content, governments need …

When products are no longer suitable for reuse, repair or refurbishment, they are discarded and recycled, often losing a lot of value (downcycling). Repurpose is a strategy that gives discarded products or obsolete parts a new, high-quality purpose, also known as upcycling. With Repurpose, the value …

Rotorcraft access panel from recycled carbon PPS - World 's first flying fully recycled thermoplastic composite application in aerospace Artikel is met toestemming overgenomen uit: Composite Solutions & Technopolymers nr 2. 2020

From 2015 till present, the Professorship for Polymer Engineering has developed the principle of structural re-use of End-of-Life (EoL) thermoset composite products. The method is based on keeping the composite structure of EoL products but machining them into smaller parts, either strips or flakes, …

This research was conducted as a part of the bachelor program of Delta Management at the HZ University of applied sciences in Middelburg, The Netherlands. Collaborating with the Can Tho University in Can Tho, Vietnam. As a part of an ongoing efforts to limit floating macro plastic pollution. This research …

Can recycled plastics be more than a trendy marketing tool? Can it be re-designed & re-used as an integral part of a new architecture? This project proposes a challenging high-tech campus in The Hague near the Shell headquarter. The project forms part of the public space and is designed to evolve with …
