Glass fibers are used in vast amount of products, from simple design elements to different vehicles, wind generators and containers. Several of these products represent key industries within Baltic Sea region, e.g. marine industry, wind generators, and automotive. In addition, there are numerous of smalls and medium businesses that produce different goods using glass fibers. Many of glass fiber and composite manufacturers have problems of waste produced either during the glass fiber or glass fiber composite manufacturing process. Society and public authorities are pushing industries to reduce the overall negative impact on the environment, e.g. sustainability. During glass fiber manufacturing, as well as in many composite manufacturing processes a significant amount of residue material is generated. Currently, this residue of glass fiber products is buried in landfill and since it is considered a hazard, should be considered as pollution to our environment. This creates additional costs, waste and inefficient material use within glass fiber industry. This issue is complex and the solution can be achieved only by bringing together industry, experts and scientists, as well as public authorities within the field – to exchange knowledge and discuss the possible solutions and necessary next steps for faster change from linear to circular economy within glass fiber and composite industry. The project main target group is small and medium enterprises, but large enterprises are also invited to join the project’s activities. It is expected that with the planned project activities trust will be established between different companies within glass fiber industry, thus providing opportunities for future collaborations. The wide presence of companies together will ensure faster change from a linear to a circular economy within the target industry.
