Leichtbau als olympische Disziplin

11.04.2024

Ohne Leichtbau können die Ziele des EU Green Deals nicht erreicht werden. Warum? Weil die Physik nicht lügt. Das war das Motto der Leichtbau-Session beim Zukunftsforum Oberösterreich 2024 am 10. April im Oberbank Donau-Forum in Linz. Denn Leichtbau ist die Technologie, die Energie- und Ressourceneffizienz sowie Reduzieren von CO2-Emissionen ermöglicht. Und das nicht nur bei der Mobilität.

Green Deal braucht nachhaltige Materialien

30.06.2023

Um den Klimawandel und seine Auswirkungen auf unseren Planeten zu stoppen, ist es unabdingbar, den CO2-Fußabdruck von Produkten zu reduzieren. Naturfaserverstärkte Verbundwerkstoffe (NFC) und tragende Holzwerkstoffe sind dabei eine Basis für hochleistungsfähige, umweltfreundliche Leichtbauwerkstoffe. Auch das Recycling dieser Werkstoffe wird in Österreich vorangetrieben.
