How Collaboration Is Advancing Recycled Carbon Fibre Composites
How can the composites industry retain more value from carbon fibre at the end of its first use?
In this conversation with Composites Weekly, Mandy Clement of James Cropper Advanced Materials and David Tilbrook of Hexcel explore their work through the European Composites Circular Alliance (ECCA) and the role industry-wide collaboration can play in advancing more circular composite materials.
The discussion looks at the challenges surrounding composite recycling and how recovered and recycled carbon fibre can be transformed into higher-value materials for demanding applications across aerospace, automotive and mobility. This reflects the wider ECCA collaboration, which brings together material producers, recyclers, manufacturers and end users to address the barriers limiting composite recycling at scale.
Watch the full Composites Weekly conversation to hear more about the collaboration and the opportunities for recycled carbon fibre in the future of composite manufacturing.
