CARBON- AND COMPOSITE FIBER PROCESSING AND RECYCLING AUTEFA Solutions leads the way Sächsisches Textilforschungsinstitut e.V. (STFI)

» Carbon fiber waste for industrial use » From recycled carbon fibers to carbon fiber-nonwovens 20 000 tons of waste per year accumulate during the production of carbon fiber-reinforced components. Added to this quantity are carbon fibers from components, which have reached their lifetime and should be recycled in a reasonable way. These fibers are no waste but a high-quality material. AUTEFA offers solutions and shows how carbon fibers can be industrially used again being recycled to nonwovens. When recycling carbon fibers the matrix content of the waste to be recovered must be determined first....
