Carbon is recycleable to an extent, but it does take a lot of energy again so it's maybe not the best trade off.
It should be stiffer and more accurate than steel/ali but once it fails it fails, there's no elasticity that you get in metal.
Personally I don't think it'll make a massive difference for average riding.
