Graphenest - Electromagnetic Shielding lightweight plastic compounds to protect electronics for e-mobility and consumer electronics industries

Graphenest develops sustainable graphene-based plastics and coatings that replace traditional metals in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications for e-mobility and electronics. Our materials deliver up to 220% higher EMI shielding performance while reducing cost by over 15%, weight by up to 75%, and CO₂ emissions by more than 70%.

The technology is based on a proprietary cleantech graphene production process using recycled graphite and a circular “3R” (Reduce–Reuse–Recycle) approach, enabling scalable, low-energy manufacturing. Graphenest’s EMI shielding compounds and coatings improve conductivity, thermal management, and mechanical strength, supporting lightweight multifunctional components such as battery casings, electronic housings, connectors, and cables.

For this call, Graphenest seeks partners — compounders, biopolymer producers, and component manufacturers — to form a consortium to develop and validate bio-based and recyclable graphene-enhanced plastics and coatings in operational environments (TRL 7–8).

The project will demonstrate:
• Lightweight multifunctional materials integrating EMI shielding and thermal performance.
• Hybrid and recyclable composites aligned with EU lightweighting and decarbonisation goals.
• Digital twins and predictive modeling for processing and performance optimisation.

This initiative directly supports the Eureka Lightweighting objectives by reducing material use and energy demand while enhancing component performance and lifespan in mobility and electronics sectors.
