When setting up activities in the inner circles of the circular economy - remanufacturing, refurbishing, retrofitting, repair, parts harvesting, etc.- there is a need for cooperation between companies. In almost all cases, there are activities that cannot or will not be carried out by one single ...

By combining a light polymer with strong and rigid fibres, composites bring all these properties together in one material. Composites also offer other advantages, such as freedom of shape, corrosion and fatigue resistance. They are therefore widely applicable in industries such as aerospace ...

Measuring is knowing, but knowing alone does not appear to be enough: global circularity has been steadily declining, year after year, since 2019. Just as important as knowing measurement results is accepting that we need to make adjustments if we want to have an impact on those results. Some tips ...

After a successful test series, Siemens Energy was able to demonstrate that a new step-up transformer for wind industry applications can also start in cold conditions, to improve the cold-start procedure and to reduce waiting times after a cold period.

Following two successful summits, Sirris is organising the Wind Energy Technology Summit for the third time. The aim of the masterclass and the seminars is to inform and inspire companies and organisations about emerging technological developments in the (offshore) wind energy sector. This year, we ...

Epoxy resins are still a first-choice polymer for applications in adhesives, composites and protective coatings on wood, concrete or stone because of the good balance in mechanical properties and long-term protection. Their use, however, is somewhat limited due to some drawbacks in intrinsic ...

Circular economy and circularity are everywhere these days, although for many companies these concepts are still too vague. How to turn theory into practice remains a big question. With the 'Circularity put into practice' event on 6 June 2023, Sirris intends to make things a little clearer.

The traditional stage-gate process to manage projects often delays decisions. Applying 'exception management' makes it possible to avoid having to wait for decisions.

Coated paper-based packaging has an important role to play in the transition to a circular economy. The extent to which these materials can be recycled is a key factor in further increasing their sustainability and circularity to meet European targets. As part of the RePac2-project, Sirris has been ...
