Hackathon on circular use of glass fiber production scraps and cut-off materials, is organized by Riga Technical University (Latvia) jointly with project partners from Lulea University of Technology (Sweden) and Aarhus University (Denmark). Hackathon is supported by industrial partners Hitachi Energy and Podcomp AB as well as Valmiera Glass (one of the biggest glass fiber producers in the Baltic Sea Region). Such glass fiber residues are generated daily during the production of glass fiber itself and from manufacturing of sports equipment and different industrial goods (wind turbine blades, reservoirs, insulators used in electrical equipment, bathroom units, housing for equipment or transportation industry, etc.). Current practice is that the residue glass fiber, in spite that it is perfectly useful material, is collected and delivered to landfills as industrial waste. This adds tons of industrial waste and loss of valuable resources. The idea of the hackathon is to bring together students from different subject areas to form teams and generate ideas with the possibility to test ideas, create prototypes and practically work at laboratory and prototyping space.
