Weight is a major obstacle in making the transport sector green, as extra mass means extra energy consumption. Polymer composites offer light weight solutions to potentially reduce 20-30% of mass. However, current generation (thermoset) solutions are hard to recycle. Thermoplastic composite (TPC) components, instead, can be produced rapidly and recycled relatively easily. The major challenge, however, is in scaling up both the series size and the physical dimensions of the structures in a viable and sustainable way. While the manufacturing of individual parts is at a high level of maturity, th
