The project will verify using FibraQ to reinforce recycled plastics and to realize the 3D printing technology for boat production to promote the economic drive for plastic recycling. Commercialization of this innovation is facilitated by 1) replacing the virgin plastics with renewable wood fiber biocomposites based on recycled plastics for hull manufacture, 2) replacing the conventional production method with a pilot-scale 3D printing/additive manufacturing method and 3) to verify a sustainable share economic model for the non-motorized boats. Given the high value of the leisure boat and the fast growth of recycling industry, and social impact on the leisure water activities, a large impact can be expected from this project on primarily the following UN SDGs: 12.5, 9.4, 14.8 and 12.8.
