In a nutshell Rivierasca produces 4,5 million square meters a year of laminates, consuming 4.000 tons of raw materials (mainly glass fibers and unsaturated polyester resins), has 30 employees and a turnover of about 10 million euros.
In 2001 Rivierasca starts looking for suitable solutions to recycle its internal scraps and develops/tests several technologies till 2012 when reaches promising results and gives to this new material the name “Glebanite”.
Glebanite is GRP recycled into GRP again and a new way of thinking and designing products.
ROLE IN THE PROJECT
In the DeremCo project Rivierasca brings its expertise in mechanical and thermochemical recycling and several reprocessing technologies.
| Open mold casting (dry and wet) | Hybrid 3D printing and milling |
