Recycling to Close the Loop on Composite Materials

Recycling to Close the Loop on Composite Materials

 

Problem:

Composites are designed to be durable, not recyclable.

Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (FRP) are widely used because they are so durable, light and versatile. But until recently, the only methods of disposal were landfilling or incineration, with the resultant environmental impact.

Solution:

Make FRP recycling a reality

At Composite Recycling, we have developed a breakthrough new recycling technology that preserves the properties of the reclaimed oil and fibres, so that they can be used for producing high-quality, high-performance new composites and decarbonized plastics.

Our Products and Services

Recyclability Testing & Calibration

We offer recyclability tests to our recycling services clients and do audits and industrial calibration studies for customers of our reclaimed glass fibre and thermolysis oil

Mobile GFRP Recycling Services

We sell our mobile recycling service, providing our clients with a sustainable, low-emission and cost-effective alternative to landfill

Sale of reclaimed oil & fibre

We sell high-quality secondary raw materials which allow our clients to incorporate recycled content, economically, in even high-performance new composites

Network access and advisory services

We offer advisory services, for manufacturers looking to build sustainability into their product design, and access to our network of upstream and downstream partners

Use Smarter, Use Longer, Use Less

Our mission is to channel hard-to-recycle composite waste away from landfills and into new, high-value production that leverages the benefits and captures the value of the virgin materials.

By helping close the loop in the composite sector, we are facilitating responsible industrial operations and the decarbonization of current supply chains.

“We are very proud to welcome Composite Recycling as our partner. Together we expect to develop this innovative technology as a way of making even more sustainable solutions for Transformers’ technology in the future.”
