On Wednesday, November 13th, 2024, the Development Center for Maintenance of Composites (DCMC), in partnership with Aviolanda Aerospace and Fokker Services Group, hosted the ‘Recycling of Composites in MRO’ event. We were thrilled to welcome a large group of representatives from companies, research institutes, and government bodies engaged in maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO), composites, and recycling technology.
The event featured insightful presentations from experts and industry leaders who shared their latest activities, ideas, and innovative research on composite recycling. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our contributors, including Aethos, Green Chemistry Campus, Delft University of Technology, Windesheim, ACRATS, TNO, and NLR – Netherlands Aerospace Centre, for their valuable contributions.
The gathering concluded with refreshments, allowing attendees to connect, exchange ideas, and build new relationships, strengthening our collective network within the field of composites and recycling technology.
Thank you once again to everyone who made this inspiring event possible. We look forward to continuing the conversation and advancing innovation in composite maintenance and recycling.

Save the date for our next event on ‘Automation of Composite Maintenance’, which is planned on Wednesday, May 21st, 2025
