Infinity Recycling: Closing the Loop on Carbon Fiber
Fairmat’s Infinity Recycling technology is a game-changer, enabling carbon fiber materials to be recycled endlessly without degradation. This breakthrough ensures that materials like FairPly™ and the Fairmat Chip can be reused indefinitely, addressing the global challenge of resource scarcity.
- 90% Material Recovery: Up to 90% of materials are recovered and reused.
- 10x Less CO2 Emissions: A significant reduction compared to traditional recycling methods.
- Infinite Reusability: Materials can be recycled indefinitely, creating a truly circular economy.
“Fairmat Infinity Recycling is the process by which we take a cold atmospheric plasma and selectively remove the resin, leaving the carbon fiber chips intact for reuse.”
