Popis: It has long been a challenge for us to contribute to waste reduction. That is why we have been dealing with the idea of using waste windscreen foil for the production of sustainable materials for several years. Our “environmental friendly” 3R (Reduce–Recover–Recycle) composite materials for the customized industry represent a considerate environmental solution and are an excellent example of our comprehensive thinking. Application of the recycled materials into the industry depends on the customer’s interaction with the final product manufacturing process. The priority is to respect customer requirements directly on the production line. In their manufacture, recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used, which comes from the windscreen recycling process, and reinforces are the high strength fabrics. Smart materials can be divided into two areas: load-bearing materials that ensure the rigidity and strength of the structure and at the same time impact protection, and materials providing certain active functions, especially process control, information transfer, servo drive, efficient conversion, energy storage, and so on. Ideally, several features are combined in one component using “smart materials.” The advantage of materials is that they minimize the environmental impact and contribute to raising awareness of the usefulness of this future commodity.
