At JEC World 2026, James Cropper Advanced Materials organised a Composites Exchange panel to explore one of the industry’s most pressing challenges: circular composite design using recycled carbon fibre, and how it can be scaled into high‑performance, industrial applications without compromising quality, consistency, or manufacturability.
Circular by Design: Advancing High-Performance Composites with Recycled Carbon Fibre
Bringing together expertise from across the value chain, the session examined the technical, commercial, and systemic barriers to circularity while presenting a tangible step forward through VECTIS™, James Cropper’s aligned nonwoven technology.
