KaskaWi

The “KaskaWi” collaborative project is developing new approaches to keep FRP from end-of-life construction waste in the material cycle for as long as possible. Instead of shredding the components, the goal is to specifically reuse suitable components and semi-finished products in new construction applications based on their remaining properties. To this end, the materials are characterized, classified, and assigned to suitable second-life applications. Demonstrators such as facade elements and substructures for photovoltaic modules demonstrate the practical feasibility of this approach. A Digital Product Passport (DPP) and a damage model provide the foundation for tracking the condition and usage history of components and enabling further usage cycles. More…
