Cantiere del Pardo
Forlì
Grand Soleil Blue is our first project with a large Italian shipyard "Cantiere del Pardo" that used our rComposite technology to build a 10-meter hull. The recyclable nature of rComposite® materials ensures that resources are utilized more efficiently. Components can be repurposed or recycled at the end of their lifecycle, reducing the need for virgin materials and lowering the overall environmental footprint. The transition to rComposite® technology has maintained production costs at a level comparable to traditional infused thermoset composites. This cost-effectiveness, combined with the elimination of expensive waste management processes, results in significant cost savings for the manufacturer.
The use of rComposite® materials in the construction of the Grand Soleil Blue yacht has led to a substantial decrease in waste. By employing recyclable thermoplastic resins, the project has minimized the disposal of non-recyclable composite waste, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
The rComposite® technology aims to solve one of the biggest problems of the composite industry: managing the end-of-life phase of composite materials. Our innovative concept is designed to foster a new circular economy within this sector, promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility. By leveraging thermoplastic resins, our goal is to revolutionize the composite market through advanced technological innovations, enabling the reuse of raw materials, and significantly reducing waste. To demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of our rComposite® material, we have successfully built a range of products, including high-performance sailing boats, durable wind turbine components, and various industrial parts. This showcases our commitment to transforming the composite industry and highlights the potential for widespread application of our recyclable composite technology.
