Description

The project supports the growth and capacity expansion of an innovative company in the area of carbon fibre recycling. The investments concern the development of materials and process technologies, advanced automation and robotics, and related facilities and equipment for the manufacturing scale-up. The project will be mainly carried out in the area of Nantes (France) during the period 2025-2028.

Objectifs

The project supports the development and implementation of an innovative, efficient and sustainable technology to produce recycled carbon fibre, addressing the lack of investment in environmentally friendly technologies and the circular economy. The solutions resulting from this project are expected to provide alternative and more sustainable recycling methods to deal with the large quantities of scrap carbon fibre, of which only a small fraction is currently recycled. The project will support the company to develop and deploy its technology at commercial scale, and it will help by building up the necessary capabilities, skills and technologies.
