WIRA-SUPRA
WIRA-SUPRA started in March 2024. Scania has taken the lead and joined forces with Thule, Husqvarna and Polymertekniska institutet to make polymers in high-tech applications more sustainable.
The page is under construction and more information will be published soon.
Aim
- The aim is to bring together academic researchers for collaborative projects to make polymers and their use more sustainable. Initially, efforts will be centered around the application of injection molding.
Research focus
- Polymer raw materials with minimal environmental impact. For example, materials from bio-resources or waste streams.
- Resource efficient design and manufacturing. For example, reduced weight using high-performance materials and/or low-density materials.
- Circular polymers.
Objective
- To make polymers and the use of polymers more sustainable.
- To create an arena where researchers can meet and discuss industrially relevant research challenges and initiate new R&D projects, as well as test and upscale research results.
