New Video Showcases the EcoComposites Cluster
The FOREST project is proud to be part of the EcoComposites Cluster, a collaboration between six EU-funded projects, FOREST, r-LightBioCom, SUSPENS, REPOXYBLE, FURHY, and MC4, all dedicated to advancing sustainable, bio-based, and recyclable composite materials. Together, we are working to develop high-performance materials that reduce environmental impact while meeting the demands of industries such as automotive, aeronautics, construction, and energy.
To highlight this important collaboration, we have prepared a new video that showcases the vision, goals, and key innovations of the EcoComposites Cluster. Watch it to learn how our projects are shaping the future of composite materials.
Meet Our Sister Projects
Each of the five projects in the cluster brings a unique perspective to sustainable composite development:
r-LightBioCom focuses on bio-based high-performance lightweight composites, enabling circular value chains in the automotive, aeronautics, and construction industries.
SUSPENS is tackling the challenge of reducing the environmental footprint of sandwich and hollow composite structures, particularly in automotive, aerospace, and boatbuilding.
REPOXYBLE develops sustainable and high-performance biobased epoxy composites, employing a holistic approach that considers the entire lifecycle of the material, from raw material sourcing to manufacturing, use, and end-of-life recycling.
FURHY is developing fully recyclable bio-based hybrid composites with smart functionalities for transport applications, utilizing innovative bio-based epoxy resins.
MC4 is dedicated to establishing circular value chains for carbon and glass fibre composites, making these materials more sustainable and competitive in Europe.
By working together, the EcoComposites Cluster aims to create a new generation of sustainable composite materials that are high-performance, recyclable, and energy-efficient. This collaboration strengthens Europe's position as a leader in bio-based innovation while contributing to circular economy goals.
