Development of an Agile, Novel Expeditionary Battlefield Manufacturing Plant using Recycled and Reclaimed Thermoplastic Materials

Abstract

This project involves both basic and applied research for the development of agile and mobile manufacturing technologies that take advantage of recycled and reclaimed plastics at forward operating bases (FOBs). The project offers a safe and environmentally responsible way to reduce disposal requirements and to turn specific thermoplastics waste-streams into value-added products for use by servicemembers.
