MC4 Multi-level Circular Process Chain for Carbon and Glass Fibre Composites

Coordinator: PROFACTOR GMBH (AT)

Each year about 110.000t of carbon fibre composite parts and 4.500.000t of glass fibre composites are used. 98% of these parts end up in landfills at the end of their life. To address this problem the MC4 project aims at establishing a multi-level circular process for carbon and glass fibre composite. Multi-level means that processes will be developed for short-term implementation with immediate impact and for the longer term with a wider impact on industry. Carbon and glass fibre have substantially different costs and the project takes this into account by developing economically feasible pr…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €7.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2022-04-01 to 2025-03-31.
