We’re proud to announce a major milestone: Sc-CO₂ technology has successfully entered the world of composite recycling—specifically, helmet recycling!
Using Sc-CO₂-assisted processes, we can recover aramid fibers while retaining 90% of their original properties. But that’s not all—we can also recover aramid-phenolic thermosets, marking a significant step toward circular material reuse.
Even more exciting, the recovered fibers have been successfully processed into high-quality yarns for construction applications, proving that sustainable innovation is not just possible, but scalable.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the r-LightBioCom project and our incredible partners:
AITEX, UPC, HS-KL, IVW, DLR, CIDAUT, AEP POLYMERS, FEYECON D&I, FECSA, CRF, ACCIONA, ACITURI, COVENTRY UNIVERSITY, GEN2CARBON.
