Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

RECOTRANS is a European research and innovation project focused on the integrated manufacturing of recyclable multi-material composites for the transport sector.

Our mission

RECOTRANS integrates unconventional manufacturing technologies, including microwave radiation and laser joining, into RTM and pultrusion production lines. The project works toward cost-effective, recyclable composite solutions suitable for high production rates in transport applications.

Our approach

The project combines material development, manufacturing processes, joining technologies and industrial demonstrators. Its work aims to reduce polymerisation time, production costs and energy consumption compared with conventional composite manufacturing.

European collaboration

RECOTRANS brings together research organisations, technology centres and industrial partners. The project received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 768737.
