Closing the Loop on Composite Materials
Closing the Loop on Composite Materials
Problem:
GFRP is designed to be durable, not recyclable.
Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) are widely used because they are so versatile, light and cheap. But until recently, the only methods of disposal were landfilling or incineration, with the resultant environmental impact.
Solution:
Make GFRP 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
In support of our clients’ sustainable manufacturing efforts, we offer:
– Turn-key recycling services. Our solution is mobile, cost-effective and energy autonomous
– High-quality reclaimed glass fibres and pyrolysis oil that can be reused to make new composites and decarbonized plastics
– Access to our network of partners who reuse the reclaimed outputs
– Advisory services for clients seeking to build sustainability into new product development
Use smarter, Use longer, Use less
We are closing the loop on composite materials, 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.”
