Re:FAB - Design of circular and resource efficient processes and products for recycled glass wool

Purpose and goal: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt **

The purpose of the project is to demonstrate a circular value chain, new resource-efficient manufacturing technology, products and business models using a complex waste stream from the construction industry - acoustic ceiling panels based on glass wool, where the properties meet and exceed the market´s demand for minimized climate impact and optimized acoustic performance. The goal is to be able to industrialize developed solutions after the project, and where the technology and lessons can also be transferred to other industries and materials.

Expected results and effects: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project will deliver: en full-scale demonstrator for circular sound absorbants with significantly improved sustainability performancce a resource-efficient manufacturing, evaluated in pilot scale a new method for the design and construction of circular produkter

a developed solution for the management of traceability and logistics flows, assessed in pilot scale a proven value chain

The effect will be that recycled material flows can be used in new smart products with less climate impact where Swedish industri is leading the development. Approach and implementation: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project is divided into five work packages, which will mainly run in parallel and involve all project parties.

WP1: Project management, communication and dissemination of results WP2: Resource-efficient production technology of base materials WP3: Circular design and manufacturing technology WP4: Traceability and material safety WP5: Plan for industrialisation and sustainability
