Composite Recycling

📰 Press Release 📰 📣 We are thrilled to announce that Composite Recycling is partnering with Veolia RVD Centre-Ouest to revolutionize the way composite waste is treated in Région Pays de la Loire ! 🤝 Together with Veolia, we are launching a groundbreaking project aimed at transforming fiberglass waste into reusable, high-quality materials like fibers and thermolysis oil using our next generation recycling solution. This exclusive partnership will map and begin processing the region's waste streams and roll out a scalable recycling solution over the next year. ♻️💡 We are proud to be at the forefront of a sustainable future for composite materials alongside Veolia and can’t wait to see the impact this project will have on the #circulareconomy. ♻️ And special thanks to R4 Composites for a terrific event, where we officially announced this exciting collaboration. #Sustainability #Partnership #WasteRecycling #FiberglassRecycling #Veolia Marie GLORENNEC Agathe Corre Christelle Morançais Nicolas Chéné Jérôme Blancon Didier BARRON Virginie CASSAIGNE Julien Front Solutions&co Pascal Gallo Guillaume Perben

♻️ Breaking New Ground in Sustainability 🌍 We’re keen to share the latest pictures of some recyclability test results - of samples from our client ROUSSEAU, a major French manufacturer of composite-based silos & tanks for agriculture and industry. Yes, these sizeable items can be made from polyester resin and fiberglass ! In tests using our next-generation #thermolysis process, we have shown that we can reclaim the glass fibers from the production waste of Rousseau's fibreglass silos & tanks. Once this process is scaled up, the aim is to take these fibers and reintegrate them into the production of new composite products. Talk about #circularity ! 🔄 By enabling Rousseau to (1) keep their fibreglass production waste out of landfills and (2) work toward ramping up the percent of recycled content in their products in the future 🌱 we are striving to enable them meet growing demands for greener solutions from regulators and customers. #composite #polyester #filamentwinding #bulk

🌍 Keen to be part of the future of sustainability? 🌿 Ambitious and passionate individuals interested in contributing to the next generation of composites recycling are invited to come meet us at Forum EPFL 2024 on Tuesday 8 October. 📅 📍 You'll find us in the Sustainability Corner, in space C02 (ironically enough!) ♻️ If you’re curious about sustainability, composites, and the latest innovations in recycling materials like wind turbine blades, stop by for a chat. We're looking for interns who are ready to make an impact in this field. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join us in shaping a more sustainable future! We look forward to seeing you there-- #sustainability #fiberglassrecycling #internship #ForumEPFL

🚨 Let's talk about the other 10% ... While wind turbines are often hailed as a beacon of green energy, there's a significant challenge that’s often overlooked—the blades. Although it’s often said that wind turbines are 90% recyclable, this statistic is by weight and refers to the metal bases, which are extremely heavy. The #sustainability problem lies in the bulky blades. These account for only ~10% of the total weight, but are made of fiberglass composites that are extremely durable...and so very hard to recycle. Currently, most of these blades end up in landfills. WindEurope expects around 25,000 tonnes of blades to reach the end of their operational life each year by 2025, and most of these will be landfilled if no viable, industrial-scale recycling options emerge. We believe it’s time to change that and ensure this green technology remains green from start to finish. At Composite Recycling, we’re tackling this issue by developing solutions to recycle fiberglass, including wind turbine blades. Our goal is to turn these difficult-to-recycle components into new materials for future composites, creating a truly circular economy. 📩 Get in touch if you want to be part of the solution. #composites #greentech #windenergy #zerolandfill

🌍 "Regulations: Barrier or Catalyst for the Circular Economy?" 🌍 🚨 Join Us at R4 Composites on October 9, 10-11am, for the roundtable on this critical topic impacting the future of our industry. We believe there are so many ways government regulations can help facilitate the transition to the circular economy, from incentivizing sustainable innovation 💡💡 to creating standardized recycling protocols to supporting the development of alternatives to unsustainable disposal methods. Moderated by Romain Agogué Composites Program Manager at IPC Centre Technique Industriel de la Plasturgie et des Composites, the roundtable will include our CEO Guillaume Perben as well as: ◽ Jean-pierre Cabanac Senior Design Expert at Airbus ◽ stephane paboeuf Head of Composite Materials at Bureau Veritas | Marine & Offshore, and ◽ @Edouard SHERWOOD CEO of COBRATEX Don’t miss the chance to meet and chat with industry leaders on this important topic. DM us to set up a meet-up at the event! #CircularEconomy #CompositeMaterials #Sustainability #composites #r4composites

♻️ Recycled – Recyclable – Healable! ♻️ We’re excited to announce our collaboration with CompPair Technologies Ltd., a fellow Swiss innovator driving sustainability and circularity in the composite industry. Together, we’re developing something truly groundbreaking—the first-ever composite material that is Recycled, Recyclable, and Healable! We started with waste fibreglass, which we recycled with Composite Recycling's next-generation thermolysis treatment. We then sent the recycled fibers to our colleagues at CompPair, who applied their HealTech™ technology, resulting in a recycled composite material that’s also self-healing. And the best part? Once it’s time, we can recycle this wonder material and start the process over again! To road test this new-to-the-world technology, we are working with asso OBJECTIF DUNES on their eco-efficient rally buggy, an ideal environment to push performance to the limit and show how eco-friendly materials can deliver top results - while also cutting down on waste, costs, and downtime. Stay tuned for updates from the season...! In industries where parts are frequently replaced, this recycled, recyclable, healable material offers a sustainable alternative that’s future-ready. ✨ We’re always pushing the envelope of #composites innovation. Stay tuned for more developments, including recycled woven composites, coming soon...! #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CompPair #EcoFriendly #Healable

🚀 Exciting times ahead for Composite Recycling! We're thrilled that our CEO Guillaume Perben will be joining 9 other Swiss National Team members on Venturelab's Cleantech Venture Leaders business development and investor roadshow in Munich this November. 🌍✨ Our innovative recycling approach is changing the game for composite manufacturers, by transforming composite waste into high-value, reusable outputs, and we're so looking forward to this roadshow as an opportunity to meet with partners, investors, and industry leaders to expand our impact. Curious about how we're helping bring #circularity to the #composites industry? Check out this article featuring Guillaume and learn more about our mission!👇 Thank you to Venturelab and Swissnex for this thrilling opportunity! #cleantech #composites #sustainability #circulareconomy #recycling #innovation #startups   https://lnkd.in/dfsp9JPg

🔎🔎 Are you a manufacturer looking to integrate recycled content into your production process? At Composite Recycling, we specialize in recovering high-quality oil and fibers from composite waste—like this fiberglass production scrap from a Beneteau boat hull—so it can be reused in new manufacturing. Even better, producing new fiberglass from reclaimed materials generates 70% less CO2 compared to virgin fiberglass production. If you're looking for solutions that benefit both your business and the planet, get in touch with us to schedule a consultation. 📩 contact@composite-recycling.ch #RecycledContent #GreenTech #Composites #Sustainability #Circularity Groupe Beneteau
