Discover the Building & Civil Engineering category with the 3 finalists and the winner of the JEC Composites Innovation Awards!
Finalists Building & Civil Engineering:
- Windesheim
- OPTIMAS
- EFW - Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH

Windesheim was rewarded for their Structural Re-Use of Thermoset Composites. This innovation enables End-of-Life thermoset composites to be re-used in new products. It is a circular solution for these materials. The End-of-Life products are machined into smaller parts like strips or flakes. These smaller parts serve as reinforcing elements for new products. Some virgin resin and reinforcement have to be added but the new product is entirely made of thermoset composite components and can be re-used with the same method again when it is End-of-Life or End-of-Use.

JEC Group is a non-profit organization entirely dedicated to promoting composite materials and fostering their applications globally. Publisher of the JEC Composites Magazine, the industry's reference magazine, JEC organizes several events around the world, including JEC World, the leading international exhibition dedicated to composites and their applications, which takes place annually in Paris. JEC media, events and digital channels connect a global community of professionals from the composites industry and beyond, to enable knowledge transfer, create networking opportunities, and highlight innovation.
