RECYSITE | Centexbel - VKC

NEN 8333 “Protective clothing ‐ Body covering clothing that supports the protection against tick bites and is industrially treated with permethrine”. The tests described in the standard may only be performed by validated testing labs.
Centexbel is acknowledged by the Deutsche Bundeswehr - Wehrwissenschaftliches Institut für Werk- und Betriebsstoffe (WIWeb) according to TL-8305-0031. As a result, manufacturers of protective clothing against tick bites can have their products tested according to the standard at Centexbel.

RECYSITE

Production of fully recyclable and reusable green composites based on bioresins and natural fibres

Context

RECYSITE aims to demonstrate recyclability and reuse of a new generation of high performance fibre-reinforced thermoset composites from renewable resources (bio-waste)

Information on the project

Project website

Objectives

Demonstration of new 100% recyclable and reprocessable composites formulations for maximising the recyclability and re-use of composite parts. Simultaneously it will limit incineration and landfilling to non-recyclable materials.
Valorisation of bio-waste residues from renewable resources not competing with food: natural fibres from bio-waste (linseed [flax] fibres) and resins from natural resources (linseed oil and humins).

Validation of the proposed solution in different strategic sectors

Transportation (refrigerated swap body)
construction (modular façade wall)
