He outlined the challenges when dealing with those composites and presented the current state of the art in the field as well as further perspectives for research and cooperation.

Additional lecture within thematic group of Sustainable Materials and Technologies, was held by Dr. Gábor Szebényi, from PolymerOn Ltd. The focus of the lecture was on “Recycling and material development in the field of polymers” and view on rubber from rubber tires. He emphasized the large quantities of material available for recycling and different options for recycling, which still can be increased by a great deal. Both speakers stressed the need to increase the use of existing materials and structures and working with those, in order to save material and resources and help the move towards circular economy.
