The National Composites Centre (NCC) in the UK has announced its participation in the Green-Loop project, which focuses on developing new bio-based materials using sustainable manufacturing methods, said Reinforcedplastics.
The project is funded by the EU as part of its Horizon Europe program, which supports research initiatives.
Plans are to implement three new materials based around multifunctional rubber panels with fire resistance and vibrational applications, bioplastic bottle closures for oil and fruit juice and wood composites bearings for plastic injection machines.
The NCC is reportedly leading the development of the multifunctional rubber panels for construction and infrastructure.
We remind, LG Chem will team up with the eco-friendly energy company GS EPS to convert heat sources into biomass fuel. The company announced on Dec. 20 that the two companies signed the main contract for establishing a biomass power plant that will produce industry-use steam and electricity using waste wood at the Yeouido LG Twin Tower with the attendance of executives from both companies. This agreement follows up the conclusion of the heads of agreement (HOA) signed by the two companies in June of last year.
