The BRIGHT proposal (Bamboo Reinforced bIocomposite with hiGh mecHanical properTies) presented an innovative low energy process for high quality bamboo fibres extraction, which conserves the intrinsic mechanical properties. The "infinite bamboo wire" resulting from this project demonstrated its high performance for aeronautical composites applications.

The process that proposed by the BRIGHT proposal was principally mechanically-based with very low chemical treatments, in order to respect the environment. The project partners, composed by VESO CONCEPT (coordinator) and two other French SMEs, namely COBRATEX and KES all have a deep knowledge in green materials for various industrial applications. In particular, concerning the transport application, they have already worked in innovative structural parts made of bamboo fibres.

The project duration and budget complied with the call requirements, that is a duration of 16 months and a total budget below 250 000 Euros.
