Robust texture design for circular polymers 2 (ROPY2)

Research Project, 2023 – 2025

Purpose and goal
The main objective of the project ROPY2 is to develop methods, tools and guidelines for robust specification of surface texture to allow design and manufacture of automotive interior polymer components with larger material variations, thereby enabling circular material flow.

Expected results and effects
The project will help sustainable solutions to be developed that can be implemented and accepted by users and society. The project focuses on design for circularity and enabling circular material flows. This will be achieved with tools and guidelines that help product designers develop products that are attractive to users and at the same time allow recycled material to be used and thereby hasten the implementation of sustainable solutions leading to more efficient use of resources.
