The event takes place on 7 July at the premises of ELG Carbon Fibre in the West Midlands. The confirmed speakers include ELG Carbon Fibre, Toyota Europe, PPG Industries, Green Alliance, Universities of Manchester, Cranfield and Nottingham, and SMEs Revaluetech, Renewable Advice, Agecko, Plaswire and Techlan.
Presented will be recent developments in end-of-life solutions for carbon and glass fibre composites and other wastes generated in the manufacturing supply chain for composites.
The noted organisations will give talks on university research right through to practical end-of-life solutions and a call for the industry to play its part to design for end-of-life, optimise its waste management practice and take up opportunities to use recycled material in high value products.
Coinciding with the event is the launch of a new report on composites recycling, giving an update on which recycling processes are commercially active now, the recovery processes for carbon and glass fibre composites, their re-use and application, the impact of composite recycling and legislation.
