A fresh go-to-market approach

 

Our approach to composite recycling features innovative new technologies and services calibrated to each customer’s specific needs.

Our Solution

A second life for GFRP waste

Pyrolysis is a technique which applies heat in an oxygen-free environment to separate the fibres from the resin in waste GFRP.

At Composite Recycling we make it possible to recycle glass fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP) with a proprietary static pyrolysis process and post-treatment to maximize the quality, consistency and reusability of the process outputs (fibres, pyrolysis oil and gas).

Calibrated to our customers’ needs

We carefully calibrate our reactors so that the reclaimed glass fibres meet the required specifications of our partner composite manufacturers, who can then recombine the fibres with new resin to make new composite materials.

Similarly, the reclaimed pyrolysis oil is useful to our industrial partners to synthesise different types of decarbonated plastics and in some cases recycled resins.

We even reuse the gas  that is released during pyrolysis to power the process,  making it cheaper and more energy efficient.

A mobile solution

Composite Recycling pyrolysis reactors are designed to fit in 40” containers which can be easily dispatched to treat fibreglass waste on-site.

This approach reduces the costs, complex logistics and carbon emissions of transporting bulky discarded waste materials

It places our reactors adjacent to large stockpiles of waste materials, such as at deconstruction sites, harbors, factories, etc

Finally, it enables fast and easy temporary deployment as needed

Start your recycling journey with us.

As a first step, submit your waste materials to determine the recoverability and evaluate the quality of the outputs.

The test results will also enable you to demonstrate the recyclability potential of your products to internal and external stakeholders, and to start formulating real end-of-life solutions.

Client Testing

We offer a range of tests to suit our customers’ needs, and have already performed over 350 pyrolysis tests for clients in the marine, aerospace, automobile, sporting goods, chemical and other industries.

Get in touch and we can help you determine which is right for your organisation.

2023 Boat Builder Awards logo

“The judges decided to award the win to the Beneteau Group for its collaboration with Composite Recycling and Chomarat because it provides an answer to one of the largest issues of all – creating a viable second use option within the industry for the millions of GRP hulls manufactured in the last 60 years.”
