Robust texture design for circular polymers 2 ROPY2

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 effects and result

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.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is planned in four work packages, two for research work, a third focused on utilization, and a fourth for project management.
