- Management of waste from carbon fibres is becoming a significant societal issue.
For decades, the most popular disposal methods were landfilling and incineration; significant economic losses were incurred from not recovered fibres. These methods have led to increasing environmental awareness to recycle carbon fibres into a valuable resource and prevent the cumulating wastes.
Currently the focus is on manufacturing wastes (prepreg offcuts, obsolete moulds, faulty parts, etc). However, given the ever increasing utilization of carbon fibres in various industry applications, end of Life wastes are expected to exceed manufacturing wastes by 500%.
RECARBON offers ready to use intermediate materials and has developed a functional approach for manufacturing products from rCFs in the form of Organosheets and Prepregs.
Prepregs, cores and organo-sheets targets are high-performance applications in the aircrafts, sport & leisure, industrial and automotive sectors.
