The European Commission, together with the Spanish Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) have organized the 10th conference of the Framework Program for Research and Innovation of the European Union in Spain. The event took place on November 20th in Toledo and was attended by more than 100 participants.

PRESS RELEASE: The use of composite materials has gained interest in recent years due to their properties such as high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance and long durability, light weight and corrosion resistance.

The emerging bioeconomy is moving from research niche to market norm and Europe needs to maintain its current global leadership. The High Level Bioeconomy conference focus on the need to have a sustainable and circular bioeconomy to enhance the transition in a changed EU policy context and towards a new environmental, social and economic reality.

RECYSITE aims to demonstrate recyclability and reuse of a new generation of high performance fibre-reinforced thermoset composites from renewable resources (bio-waste).
