Podcomp’s composite technology is the result of years of research – conducted in our own factory and in collaboration with research institutes and universities across Europe.
We participate in national and international projects involving bio-based materials, recycling, new products, and innovative production technologies. This provides us with access to cutting-edge expertise and networks that keep us at the forefront of the industry. In many of these projects, our production team contributes directly by manufacturing prototypes.
Renewable raw materials, recycling, reuse, and new products and production methods – this is where the solutions of tomorrow take shape.
How do we make sustainable building materials the norm rather than the exception? Podcomp is one of 10 partners in this EU project developing bio-based composites for the urban construction of the future.
Read moreComposite materials are strong and lightweight – but difficult to recycle. In Relys, coordinated by RISE, methods are being developed to recycle fiber-reinforced polymers via pyrolysis. The goal: a circular material flow with zero waste.
Read moreIn the EU-funded Bio-Uptake project, Podcomp contributes to increasing the use of bio-based composites in the European manufacturing industry – focusing on construction, medical, and packaging sectors.
Read moreWhat happens to wind turbine blades at the end of their life cycle? In CompositeCircle, 24 organizations from 6 countries collaborate to make the recycling of glass fiber composites an industry standard.
Read moreInstead of discarding end-of-life textiles, we are working with the University of Borås to investigate how they can be reused as core materials in sandwich composites. Stronger, more cost-effective, and more sustainable.
Read moreCan bio-based materials meet the rigorous requirements of security facilities? Podcomp develops prototypes alongside partners from research, construction, and management. The goal: more climate-neutral infrastructure development.
Read moreCan coffee grounds become the next generation of building materials? In Coffeerise, funded by Vinnova, we explore how coffee waste can be refined into biocomposites for the construction industry.
Read moreGlass fiber waste doesn’t have to end up in landfills. In GlassCircle, Podcomp and its partners built a matchmaking tool for the reuse of glass fiber residues – laying the foundation for the follow-up project, CompositeCircle.
Read moreA Horizon 2020 project for lighter and more sustainable vessels. Podcomp contributed to the development of advanced composite solutions for the maritime industry.
Read moreAn EU project focused on digital B2B tools. Podcomp contributed to more efficient collaboration and data sharing across manufacturing value chains.
Read moreAn EU project for industrial automation and IoT integration. Podcomp participated in developing tools for smarter, more integrated manufacturing processes.
