Infinity

The Infinity project is about developing High-​performance tapes made from recycled carbon fibres for lightweight construction. Thanks to innovative recycling processes and high-​quality recycling materials, a considerable CO2 reduction can be achieved.

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

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” can be used. This allows different fibre composite parts to be generated for various lightweight components in a resource-​efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

The team at Pyrum Innovations AG is focussing on the development of an energy-​efficient and fibre-​friendly recycling processwhich supplies high-​quality recycled carbon fibres (r‑CF). This involves a continuous Thermolysis pilot plant and optimised the process with regard to the complex requirements.
