High-performance Carbon Fiber Reinfor... — Recycling
Global recycling capacity is still limited at roughly 6,120 tons per year .
Recycling high-performance carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) is a critical focus for achieving a circular economy, as roughly of carbon fiber used in manufacturing becomes waste . While historically most of this waste ended up in landfills, current technologies now allow for the recovery of carbon fibers that retain over 90% to 99% of their original mechanical properties.
