Paper: COST-EFFECTIVE LARGE SCALE 3D PRINTING OF CONTINUOUS FIBRE-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES USING UD TAPES tijdens SAMPE Europe 2025 Amsterdam

Wood is an increasingly demanded renewable resource and an important raw material for construction and materials. Demands are rising, with a growing attention for re-use and upcycling, opening up opportunities for new business models, empowered by the use of digital design and technologies. A KPI framework …

Repurpose is becoming more popular as a circularity strategy. This circularity strategy is specifically promising in the case of furniture. One of the challenges of upscaling repurpose is the negative consumer perception of repurposed products. Studies up to date pertain to consumer perception of refurbished …

Caribbean coral reefs are in rapid decline and artificial reefs are increasingly often deployed to restore lost three-dimensional structure. The majority of artificial reefs and other marine infrastructure is built from concrete, with Ordinary Portland Cement (CEM I) as the most important ingredient. …

This paper explores the relationship between Circular Economy (CE) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks—a connection that remains ambiguous in both academic literature and practical application. This lack of clarity hinders corporate accountability and progress toward sustainability …

The construction and demolition is a resource intensive sector, with Construction and Demolition Wastes (CDWs) considered as the largest waste streams accounting for 374 million tonnes in Europe. Although the 70% target for material recovery of CDWs set in the European Union Waste Directive Framework …

Abstract. The rapid increase in e-waste poses significant environmental challenges. Most disposed Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) products, including computers, mobile phones, and household appliances, are currently recycled for materials rather than reused, due to perceived low residual value. This …

There is more and more to do on making better use of plastic waste. The plastic issue has been stressed several times by many governments, public agencies, businesses and academics. The concern over plastic waste resulted in plastic roadmaps and plastic pacts that aim to establish a circular plastic …

Addressing the challenges of road construction in high-temperature regions, this research focuses on the technical and economic comparison between traditional asphalt pavement and recycled plastic asphalt pavement. The overarching research question is: “Technical and economical comparison of traditional …

The catalytic conversion of oleic acid to aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes, BTX) over a granular H-ZSM-5/Al2O3 catalyst (ϕ 1.2–1.8 mm, 10 g loading) was investigated in a continuous bench-scale fixed-bed reactor (10 g oleic acid h–1). A peak carbon yield of aromatics of 27.4% was obtained at …
