Abstract:

The LIFE-COMP0LIVE Project faces its last year. The reliability of the olive fibre, from olive crops pruning, as an effective reinforcement in polymer biocomposites parts to be used in the industry was already demonstrated in previous stages of the Project. Moreover, the scaling up in the production of these COMP0LIVE biocomposites is also already performed. Currently, the Project’s industrial partners are developing and validating the first real prototype parts including olive fibre up to a proportion of 40% in weight. This is an example of the development of a new industrial material with an enormous potential of annual production while meeting the sustainability requirements of the Circular Economy principles.
