Finn Kooijman Winner of the SMC BMC Design Award 2019 - Sustainable Mobility
Finn Kooijman (student Industrial Design Engineering at Technical University Delft) has won the Gold Award of the SMC BMC Design Award 2019. During the Award Ceremony at Composites Europe he presented the Arcus, a docking and recharge unit for electrical scooters. Arcus offers an innovative solution for the littering of cities by electrical vehicles, while still promoting sustainable transport of people in urban environments.
The theme of this year’s edition of the SMC BMC Design Award was “Sustainable Mobility”. It is the 2nd time the European Alliance for SMC BMC successfully organized the design competition. With the objective to find new applications for these versatile materials, students from design schools around Europe were invited to submit their projects.
As winner of the SMC BMC Design Award Gold Award, Finn received a prize of 7,500 € in cash. In addition, he will receive support from the European Alliance Members to fine-tune his design for improving functionality and manufacturing ability, with the objective to help successfully introduce the Arcus into the market.
Our nine industry associations have commissioned SGS INTRON to prepare a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report exploring the environmental impacts of treating End-of-Life (EoL) composites by co-processing in a cement facility.
