Gen 2 Carbon (UK) and Carbon Conversions (UK) are Leading Players in the Recycled Carbon Fiber Market
The recycled carbon fiber market is projected to grow from USD 154 million in 2022 to USD 278 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 10.0% during the forecast period. Recycled carbon fiber is obtained from manufacturing waste and end-of-life composite components. It is also known as reclaimed carbon fiber, upcycled carbon fiber or recovered carbon fiber.
While recycled carbon fiber modulus is basically the same as virgin carbon fiber, it also offers 20 – 40% cost savings over virgin carbon fiber alternatives. Solvolysis and Pyrolysis manufacturing techniques are used to recover carbon fiber from scrap. Even with its 10-20% reduction in tensile strength, recycled carbon fiber remains one of the strongest of all commercial reinforcing fibers available in the market. This fiber is compatible with thermoplastic and thermoset resins. It can be mixed with virgin fiber to form composite structures. Automotive & transportation is one of the most prominent end-use industries that use recycled carbon fiber. And initiatives taken by automotive manufacturers to recycle high-grade carbon fiber-based components further drive the market.
