Composites recycling innovations maintains material performance, quality

Fairmat (Paris, France), an international carbon fiber recycler and material manufacturing company, offers advanced technological capabilities designed to close the loop on carbon fiber recycling, meeting sustainability goals. The company is showcasing a range of innovations, from its recycling solutions to high-performing recycled materials, all aimed at enhancing sustainability and performance across various industries. The team is available to discuss these technologies further.

Fairmat’s recycling process is designed to eliminate the need for landfilling and incineration of carbon fiber. Specifically, it mechanically cuts down carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) waste into high-performance CFRP chips, composed of 100% high-quality, recycled carbon fiber. This process not only reduces environmental impact but also preserves the inherent strength, durability and high performance characteristics of the virgin carbon fiber.

From there, the CFRP chips can be integrated into various layouts to create tailor-made laminates and parts. Powered by robotics and AI, Fairmat contends that these materials maximize the performance of products across diverse sectors, from sports and lifestyle to mobility and aerospace. 

Fairmat partners with clients across industries, from electronics and mobility to sports and lifestyle. Headquartered in France with an adjoining innovation lab and manufacturing facility, an office in Spain and more than 130 dedicated employees, the company is actively expanding internationally.
