„We Want to Simplify the Use  of Recyclates“

The pathways to plastics can be many – even metalworking in the case of AIM3D. That is what first got this start-up up and running. Fast forward to now and the young Rostock company can cover both bases.

Versatile: the 3D printer developed by this young company can process virtually all fusible materials.

“Mobile Injection Molding Needs Time to Mature”

Amazon is looking for early-stage start-ups with a focus on recycling: the second Amazon Sustainability Accelerator is starting, and European companies can still apply until March 17.

Amazon Sustainability Accelerator 2023: the deadline for applications is 17 March 2023 and successful applicants will be announced in the Spring.

“Recycling Is More than a  Trendy Topic“

The Carbonauten converts wood waste into biocarbons and bind harmful CO2 in the process. This is an idea that could make the plastics industry take notice.

The Thermoforming Market:  a Digital Sandbox

Castor is specialized in the development of software for 3D printing. With Asahi Kasei, the Israeli Start-up has now gained an important industrial partner.

The software can use its proprietary algorithm to automatically select parts suitable for 3D printing from CAD drawings of thousands of parts in a bill of materials.

JEC Composites Startup Booster: the 2022 winners have been announced

This JEC Composites Startup Booster is a unique opportunity to network and shine a light of what will be the future of the composites industry. Two pitches sessions took place on May 3rd at JEC World, and on this day, May 4th, the four winning startups were finally awarded.

Launched in 2017, Startup Booster celebrates its fifth Anniversary in 2022. The competition has been organized in three different regions (Europe, USA and Asia) and has already fostered the emergence of 500+ innovative projects from 50+ countries, 80 finalists and 30 winners, including Arevo, Continuous Composites, ComPair, Fortify and Vartega.

This challenge not only represents an opportunity to the winners of the trophy – who will benefit from a visibility and contacts with key decision-makers- but to all the parts involved: participants, jury, official partners and the worldwide audience of JEC World. It brings the entire composites value chain together, creating future business opportunities.

Category „Products & Materials“

Graphene for climate: Many have tried to make graphene possible, but cost, quality and quantities never allowed this material to become a real business case. Blackleaf (France) closes the business case thanks to a 2-pillars technology:

<ul><li>A green and water-based production process</li><li>A set of patents to apply graphene as a coating on any substrates with a conventional spraying technique</li></ul>

Making High Performance Materials Affordable: FibreCoat (Germany) develops and markets high-performance fibre materials. The aluminum basalt fiber „AluCoat“ is the first market-ready product. Unlike currently used conductive polymer yarns, the metarial from Germany is thermally and electrically conductive as well as temperature resistant up to 600°C. Compared to pure aluminum fibers, AluCoat can be produced at one-tenth the cost. As a result, the material has the potential to become the much-needed, affordable shielding material for the electromagnetic shielding of electric cars and 5G devices of the future.

Category „Process, Manufacturing & Equipment“

Building the World’s First 36.000-ton Wind Blade / Composites Recycling Factory: Continuum (Denmark) have developed a composites transformation technology in the world that allows us to sustainably turn End-of-Life composite materials and manufacturing waste into valuable, high performance and fully circular products for the built environment. The startup is currently designing our first 36.000-ton factory together with the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark, to open in 2023. A second UK factory is also planned.

For a Green Future: Dongnam Realize (South Korea) produces „CXP wood“, made with disposals from agriculture and forestry. It can be produced in general plastic production plants and replace normal plastic, is biodegradable and carbonized easier than regular plastics.
