Carbon Fiber Conversions GmbH (CFC, Niederzissen) is a German company specializing in the recycling and processing of carbon fiber waste into sustainable, high‑performance materials. CFC strives to help companies turn their carbon fiber scrap into valuable resources — lowering cost, reducing environmental impact and supporting a true circular economy.
CFC serves industries including automotive, aerospace, defense, sports equipment and industrial manufacturing, delivering recycled carbon fibers (rCF) that retain up to 95-97% of the mechanical strength of virgin material. Its products are ideal for applications such as tooling, impact‑resistant parts, reinforcement and cost‑sensitive components where sustainability and performance are essential.
The company’s processes reclaim carbon fibers from production offcuts, decommissioned components and end‑of‑life composite materials. These are then processed into milled and chopped fibers, tailored to customer specifications, and ready for reintegration into new products.
CFC positions itself not just as a supplier but as a strategic partner. Its team works side by side with customers to design bespoke solutions aligned with their technical needs and sustainability goals, ensuring consistent quality, performance and reliability. Moreover, the company’s expertise and flexible approach enable clients to meet increasing market and regulatory demands for greener production without compromising on performance.
Its long‑term vision is global: By 2030, CFC aim to establish a worldwide closed‑loop system for carbon fiber, ensuring it is recycled, reused and reintegrated into industrial production cycles everywhere. This supports corporate ESG commitments, aligns with circular economy principles and meets rising consumer and regulatory expectations for sustainable manufacturing.
