Environment
European Union End of Life Vehicle Directive March 2004. WEEE legislation waste electrical & electronic directive. Extended OEM & importer responsibility.
Effects of European legislation:
- Products must be recycled & re-used

Impact:
Costly product disassembly.
Solution:
IDEAS3, ADSM technology. Using alloys and polymers which exhibit shape recovery potential, self releasing fasteners may be incorporated within a product. These smart fasteners are designed to release when exposed to the correct trigger stimuli.
We provide new designs, new technologies, to existing or develop new products, provide prototypes and can help you find new market opportunities.
