FiberEUse is spotlighting the importance of recycling and reusing discarded fibre composites as part of the VDF x Ventura Projects collaboration.
Exhibitor: FiberEUse
Project title: FiberEUse
FiberEUse is a project initiated by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme that emphasises the importance of a transition to a circular economy.
It is exhibiting an installation during VDF's collaboration with Ventura Projects that highlights the need to reuse discarded fibre composites. Fibre composites are lightweight, structural materials used in transport and construction sectors that are difficult to recycle.
The installation, designed by Origoni Steiner Studio, follows a circular path and showcases high quality interior products that have each been made from end-of-life fibre composites.
FiberEUse hopes the installation will encourage composite recycling to become more common, and improve understanding of the benefits of a circular economy.
