Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more distinct materials, merging their individual properties to create a new material with enhanced characteristics. Typically composed of a reinforcing phase (like fibers or particles) embedded within a matrix (often a polymer, metal, or ceramic), composites leverage the strengths of each component to achieve superior strength, stiffness, lightness, or other desirable attributes. Their versatility extends across industries, from aerospace and automotive to construction and sports equipment, where their tailored design and exceptional properties offer solutions for high-performance applications.
Recycling in composites manufacturing is an evolving endeavor aimed at addressing sustainability challenges. Unlike traditional materials, composites often pose recycling complexities due to their multi-component nature. However, innovative techniques are emerging to tackle this issue. Methods like pyrolysis, mechanical recycling, and chemical processes are being developed to efficiently recover valuable components from composite waste, such as fibers or matrix materials.
SNAPSHOT: The French startup will collect and recycle production offcuts from the regional composites manufacturer on a recurring basis, with recycled fiber already used in small offshore wind turbine blades.
SNAPSHOT: Partner Aimplas successfully manufactured continuous unidirectional carbon fiber tapes incorporating graphene/CNTs-doped LMPAEK matrix, targeting multifunctional TPC with improved electrical conductivity and laser susceptibility.
Carbon Cleanup's award-winning Carbon Eater microfactory recycles composite aircraft scrap into high-performance carbon fiber feedstock — no water, no heat and no chemicals required.
Global EV sales hit 20 million units in 2025, and the adjacent batteries and fuel cells industries saw equal growth, all trends shaped by composite technologies.
REC's transom boards made from recycled composite waste offer nearly double the compression and shear strength of competing products — at a lower cost — and are already being adopted by leading marine manufacturers.
Exel Composites discusses a practical, multi-faceted approach — including biomaterials, recycling and partnerships to build scale — as well as the industry’s circularity challenges and future opportunities.
Long fiber CFRP thermoset has shown the ability to repair at specified temperatures and can be reclaimed via chemical decomposition processes.
SNAPSHOT: From recycled carbon fiber to a race-ready IMOCA seat, Nova Carbon and nlcomp are showing what these kind of collaborations look like in practice.
The French recyclng startup Nova Carbon realigns carbon fiber scraps and transforms them into usable textiles.
The three-year, £12 million ASPIRE consortium brings together rapid tow shearing, tailored fiber placement, aligned recycled discontinuous carbon fiber and self-heated tool curing to prove lighter, high-rate composite wings for the next-generation single-aisle aircraft.
