Upcycling of Composites in Speed Bumps with Digital Twin Integration

As part of the AD-CORSSI initiative, Reprocover is committed to transforming thermoset composite waste into high-value products, particularly durable speed bumps designed for heavy vehicles. These speed bumps meet the needs of sustainable infrastructure while enhancing secondary raw materials from recycling.

• An innovative composite material: made of thermoset waste particles bound by a recycled resin, it allows:

  • reducing dependency on virgin raw materials,

  • ensuring high mechanical performance, suitable for heavy loads and harsh conditions.

• Digital twin integration, The use of a digital twin allows for:

  • better process control,

  • performance optimization of speed bumps,

  • the development of customized solutions for specific infrastructures.

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): A sustainability analysis conducted by the University of Liège ensures that the entire process aligns with environmental impact reduction goals.

• A scalable model for other industries: This approach could serve as a benchmark for demanding sectors such as:

  • energy,

  • defense,

  • aerospace.

Thus, upcycled composites demonstrate their ability to compete with traditional materials while lowering the ecological footprint.
