The MC4 project aims at finding short term and long-term solutions for carbon and glass fibre composites recycling. One of the final goals is to produce our own feedstock of glass and carbon fibres. Indeed, the recycled fibres will become the new raw materials for future development of composite materials in Europe. Furthermore, becoming independent… Continue reading Evolution of EU regulations and global economic strategies

Carbon fibres composites chemical recycling (Gaiker)
Gaiker Technological Center one of the MC4 project partners is currently doing tests for the chemical recycling of the carbon fibre composites. The process corresponds to a solvolyse which is the long term solution for the recycling of these fibres. This method will allow to obtain the fibres and reuse them as fabric or nonwoven… Continue reading Carbon fibres composites chemical recycling (Gaiker)
Cooperation with r-LightBioCom
MC4 teams up with r-LightBioCom! Sustainability in materials and material processes can take many forms: MC4 and r-LightBioCom provide different approaches complemeting each other, further leading to additional opportunities to change the European industry. r-LightBioCom aims at developing bio-based and sustainable raw materials with inherent recyclability properties and related processing and production processes to enable… Continue reading Cooperation with r-LightBioCom
MC4 presented at the Dornbirn GFC
On September 14, 2023, MC4 was presented at the Dornbirn Global Fibre Congress in Austria. It is the Europe-centred innovation platform for the fiber industry and the downstream manufacturing stages is to serve as a generator of ideas and the basis for networking. Techtera introduced to the audience the whole concept of the project, with… Continue reading MC4 presented at the Dornbirn GFC
MC4 in 2023
The year 2023 has started, and it will soon be one year in the implementation of the project. 2023 will be a key year for MC4, with the first results of the research undertook to develop solutions for recycling garbon and glass fibre composites. With a clearer view on the outcomes of MC4, the 15… Continue reading MC4 in 2023
