The goal of this IACMI Phase II Technical Collaboration Project was to establish the viability of producing affordable, recycled composite parts, which were produced from fibers with the properties in the range of those reclaimed through the controlled pyrolysis technology demonstrated in Phase I. For the purpose of this report, we use the terms “recovered carbon fiber” (rCF) and “recovered glass fiber” (rGF) as the material reclaimed from controlled pyrolysis. This fiber recycling technology utilizes the inherent energy in composites for fuel and preserves the structural value of glass fiber (GF) and carbon fiber (CF) for reuse. It can also be used for recycling other waste streams at the same facility, thus spreading capital risk and recovery across multiple industries and achieving economy of scale. A second goal to be addressed was the viability of using recycled fibers as reinforcing materials in additive manufacturing applications.
