| Video Discription | Composites have proved their durability in many applications – from doors and kitchen sinks in your home to wind turbine blades and aeroplanes. But do you know the impact they have on the environment? They are remarkable materials due to their lightweight and durable properties and can increase the lifespan of products by decades through corrosion resistance and durability. But, because they’re made from binding two or more materials together, they can be difficult to recycle. Only 15% of the 110,000 tonnes of composites produced in the UK each year will be reused or recycled at end-of-life. And common composites such as carbon fibre or glass fibre use lots of fossil-based energy in their production. So, how can we keep using these incredible materials whilst reducing their impact on the planet? Dan Noakes, Grand Challenge Lead for Packaging at CPI, a deep tech innovation organisation in Teesside, UK, explores how we’re helping to make composites more sustainable: 1. Developing separating techniques to enable the raw materials to be recycled 2. Optimising the raw materials for reuse 3. Creating sustainable composites made from biopolymers rather than fossil fuels Discover how CPI is making sustainable composites a reality: https://www.uk-cpi.com/sustainability/sustainable-composites ------------------------------------------------------- Explore more innovation stories on our social channels: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ukcpi/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ukCPI Twitter - https://twitter.com/ukCPI LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/uk-cpi/ Let's innovate together: www.uk-cpi.com ------------------------------------------------------- F0SG5hRJ_m8 |
