  • Carbon fibre can sort of be recycled.
    I don’t think the cost of recycling it makes it viable, but I think some places chop up used carbon fibre and mix it with other plastic and resin to be made into other items (‘forged carbon’)

    You would lose the weave though, which is most of the point.

    Making plastic parts with recycled carbon fibre is better than going to landfill though.

  • There are some promising technologies now for recycling CF. See V-carbon and Lineat but they are still in the industrialisation phase and I don't think are accepting post-consumer waste yet.
