Abstract

The circular composites design guide presents circular economy strategies, product design aspects and tools to (re-)design products containing composite materials for a circular economy.
A circular economy closes the loop for products, parts and materials, through reuse and recycling. In this guide you will find 5 circular economy strategies, 26 design aspects and 3 design tools specifically aimed at composite products. All have concise descriptions and inspirational examples developed in project Ecobulk and at Delft University of Technology.
