Project description
New machine to recover and recycle uncured scrap
About a third of the world’s carbon fibre ends up in landfills. With the demand for the material expected to exceed annual production capacity within the next few years, the industry is looking to recycling of carbon fibre composites as a solution. The EU-funded RECYCOMP project is developing a machine for the recovery and recycling of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer uncured scraps, taking the surplus material coming from lamination and generating new useful pre-impregnated material in a roll. This new machine will be able to identify the scraps’ area and fibre orientation. Then it will cut the scrap into rectangular chips that will be placed in a new backing material for subsequent use.
Objective
The RECYCOMP project is focused in the reutilization of uncured scrap material, aiming at preparing it for a subsequent reuse for the manufacturing of functional components. The main activity focuses on the development of an equipment able to recover the uncured scraps coming from lamination process, avoiding the degradation (associated to undesired curing) and preparing the material in a suitable form for the generation of new pre-impregnated material useful for the lamination process of new components.
The main objective of the RECYCOMP project is to develop a machine for the recovery and recycling of CFRP uncured scraps, taking the surplus material coming from lamination and generating new useful pre-impregnated material in a roll.
The machine includes 3 main modules able to: identify the scraps area and fibre orientation; cut the scrap in rectangular chips; and to pick and place the chips in a new backing material for the subsequent use.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
