The life cycle of a composite part
DSM Composite Resins
End-of-use Solution are Required
Composite materials have a very long life time…..

DSM Composite Resins
End-of-use Scenario’s Are Available
• Re-use of parts (in same or different
application) • Design for re-use/design for dis-assembly
• Re-use of material (separation) • ERCOM/Eco wolf technology; valuable filler in
composites
• Recovery of energy • Incineration; glass fiber residue is an issue
• Landfill • Inert waste but temporary solution, not sustainable

• Composites are the unique material for
renewable energy generation
• Composite contributes to lower energy
consumption
• Composites require low maintenance and
have a long life time
Using a Product
DSM Composite Resins
Composites for Wind Energy: the Material
of Choice
Composites are the unique applicable material for the production of
windmill blades; the increasing size of blades require new and higher
performance materials

Special Materials for New Renewable
Energy Sources
The sun and the oceans contain many times more
exploitable energy than the total earth population requires
Composites are the material of choice: low weight, high
durability, optimal design freedom 1,2 MW turbine in the Ooosterschelde, NL

Composites Contribute to Lower Energy
Consumption
• Composite are lighter than
traditional materials
• Lower fuel consumption result in
lower emission: 100 kg weight
reduction result in 0.6 liter less fuel
consumption per 100 km for passenger
cars = 1,5 kg/100km. of CO2 reduction
• Low weight airplane: use of
composites contributes to a 20% weight
reduction of the Boeing 787

Composites Require Low Maintenance and
Have Long Life Time
• Composites have proven to be very durable and require low maintenance

• The industry should co-develop “down-the-chain” new material and product concepts, that replace traditional materials for longer life time and low/no maintenance

• EU raw materials suppliers decided to generate up-to-
date Eco Impact Data:
• Glass Fiber Europe: LCI of different grades of glass fibers
• AVK: LCI of polyester and vinyl ester resins
• EuCIA decided to develop an Eco Calculator Tool for
calculating the impact of composites parts:
• Raw materials
• Production processes
• Web-based tool with “intuitive user interface”: the average professional
is able to generate the Eco Impact data of a composite part
Calculating Eco Impact
DSM Composite Resins
Eco Calculator of EuCIA
DSM Composite Resins
• Developed by EY and BiinC, under the supervision of the
Working Group Sustainability of the EuCIA
• Input from the National Members of EuCIA
• Web-based, ISO 14040/44 compliant, Eco Fact Sheet
• First version available in Q1 2016
• Launch foreseen on JEC
• “growing tool”:
Eco Calculator of EuCIA
DSM Composite Resins
• Production of composites are driven by choice of raw
materials; EuCIA supports the industry with a
professional Eco Calculator Tool
• Composites contributes to a lower Eco Impact especially
in the use-phase • Low weight, lower energy consumption
• Long life time ad low maintenance
• Composites are key in generation of renewable energy
• End-of-use scenario’s are available and starting to be
commercially feasible
