Projet term: 2024 - 2027
As part of the EU's "Circular Bio-based Europe" Joint Undertaking, DLR is developing technologies and construction methods for bio-based composites for use in the aerospace sector as part of the BIOntier project (BreakIng FrOntiers in sustainable and circular biocomposites with high performance for multi-sector applications).
As part of the project, bio-based composites (at least 95% bio-based) are to be made ready for various applications. Starting with material development, through manufacturing processes, physical tests and an end-of-life strategy, the topics are considered holistically. Total of 25 partners from all over the EU, UK and Turkey are involved.
This serves to ensure that the requirements of the circular economy and ecological sustainability are integrated into the development and implementation of bio-based research and innovation in order to contribute to climate neutrality and the prevention of environmental pollution, while at the same time promoting social acceptance.
