Advanced lightweight materials FOR Energy-efficient STructures

The FOREST project

The FOREST project will contribute to the decarbonisation of the transport sector by developing and implementing innovative bio-based polymers & additives and recycled carbon fibres. The goal will be achieved by combining three key drivers: Reduce, Recovery, and Reshape.

The FOREST project has received €4.3 million in funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101091790.

Concept

The positive environmental impact of lightweight composite materials most often occurs due to benefits during the use phase.
