Infinity

The aim of the “Infinity” project is to develop, establish and present a 
sustainable process cycle for carbon fibre composite materials involving innovative recycling technologies, recycling materials and processing methods as well as the substitution of the carbon fibre primary material with high-​quality recycled materials and bio-​based materials in order to achieve significant CO2 reductions in lightweight construction processes.

After thermal treatment of carbon fibre-​reinforced plastic waste in the thermolysis process, the recycled carbon fibres (r‑CF) are to be used to produce highly oriented “rCF tapes”. This allows different fibre composite parts for various lightweight components to be generated in a resource-​efficient and environmentally friendly way.

The Pyrum Innovations AG team is focusing on the development of an energy-​efficient and fibre-​friendly recycling process that delivers high-​quality recycled carbon fibres (r‑CF). This involves setting up a continuous thermolysis pilot plant and optimising the process to meet the complex requirements.
