Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Carbon fiber reinforced composites are a class of material playing a key role in energy transition. Their use is rapidely growing in sectors like wind energy, e- and H2-mobility. Their recycling, however, proves difficult and most carbon composite waste is currently landfilled. This is heart breaking considering both the value and the GHS footprint of those fibers. Extracthive has thus developped a composite recycling solution, called the PHYre® technology. A unique combination of solvents enables this process to dissolve the matrix of the composite material and reclaim carbon fibers without altering their physical properties. Our mild reaction conditions result into the production of high-performance recycled carbon fibers, featuring a 10 times lower environmental impact as compared to equivalent virgin carbon fiber. Numerous industrial sectors, such as boating and automotive, are under pressure to lower their carbon footprint, and will benefit from our PHYre low impact products.
