Cured thermoset materials could finally be 100% chemically recycled
The objective of BIZENTE project (https://specificpolymers.com/bizente/) is to develop multi-step degradation process to degrade thermoset [...]
Did you know that in Europe almost 70% of the thermoset composite residues aren´t properly recycled?
Approach
BIZENTE project presents a biocatalytic model of enzymatic degradation as a novel alternative to the end-of-life (landfill and incineration) of thermoset composite.
Outcomes
BIZENTE project presents an innovative solution to resolve end-of-life of thermoset composites based on the development of a new technology focused on a controlled enzymatic biodegradation.
