Closing the Loop on Composite Materials
Closing the loop on composite materials
Versatile, light, cheap, and with limitless applications
Glass Fibres Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) have historically been designed to be durable, not recyclable. Until recently, the only methods of disposal were shredding, landfilling or incinerating the material, with the resultant environmental impact.
At Composite Recycling, we offer another approach, using a thermal process called pyrolysis to separate the fibres from the resin.
Making GFRP recycling a reality
We offer the following in support of our clients’ sustainable manufacturing efforts:
– Turn-key recycling services. Our solution is mobile and energy autonomous
– High-quality reclaimed glass fibres that can be reused to make new composite materials
– Pyrolysis oil that can be used as an input in making decarbonised plastics
Use Smarter, Use Longer, Use Less
We are closing the loop on composite materials, facilitating responsible industrial operations and the decarbonisation of current supply chain models
