Bcomp team rolled up their sleeves in the Fribourg mountains! Our recent volunteer day with #VolontairesMontagnes | #Bergversetzer was a real treat! This year, our team once again had the chance to volunteer in the Fribourg mountains. With the Swiss Alps as stunning backdrop, we spent two days helping our farming neighbours to restore the local landscape. From cleaning up the pastures by removing thorns and thistles to clearing the land of invasive wild roses despite the rain, we got our hands dirty while enjoying the fresh mountain air, each other's company and all in a positive good mood. And of course, no farm visit is complete without a hearty meal! We enjoyed delicious local cheeses made right on the farm and homemade pastries. A big thank you to Les Précornes and to the Gros Fonds domains for welcoming us, your hospitality and the meaningful conversations! It was a fantastic way to bond as a team and appreciate the natural beauty of the FribourgCH region! #volunteering #ecovolunteering #communityengagement #Fribourg

🌊 The solar-powered ferry by Marservis d.o.o. paves the way for sustainable waterborne mass transportation The first of its kind PROeco vessel featuring Bcomp’s flax-fibre composite #ampliTex has begun ferrying passengers around the Port of Rovinj in Croatia on Adriatic Sea. Developed in collaboration with Marservis, our high-performance materials were used in almost all non-structural and semi-structural components such as bulkheads, seats, ceilings, or side lines. By opting for natural fibres over standard materials such as glass and plastic, the PROeco is a testament to carbon emissions reduction at the manufacturing stage, while offering end-of-life options. “By combining renewable energy with natural fibre composites, this vessel represents the advent of a completely new stage in eco-friendly mass mobility on waterways,” said Paolo Dassi, Marine & Industry Manager at Bcomp.

📰 Christian Fischer’s Latest Insights on Decarbonisation and Regulation in the Automotive Industry on Carbon Pulse. In an interview (https://lnkd.in/dM3vXsVP) with Carbon Pulse’s Bryony Collins, Christian Fischer speaks about the challenges and opportunities facing the auto sector in existing and pending regulatory frameworks. “Only enforcing a certain level of recycled material contents won’t solve the problem on its own,” said Christian Fischer, CEO and Co-founder at Bcomp. “Eventually we need to implement emission-based targets in terms of embodied energy, only achievable by a combination of recycled and plant-based material solutions.” Read more about Christian's thoughts as shared in 'INTERVIEW: Green Materials Gain Traction with Automakers Ahead of EU’s End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation' here: https://lnkd.in/dwSBPjPC Read the full interview on Carbon Pulse here: https://lnkd.in/dM3vXsVP #SustainableLightweighting #NaturalFibres #Bcomp #Circularity
