As the composite industry shifts toward a circular economy, manufacturers face a dual challenge: integrating nontraditional feedstocks while maintaining high-performance output. This session explores the technical pathways for processing recycled carbon fibers, natural fibers and waste-derived materials using advanced scattering and double-belt press technology.
Rather than viewing sustainability as a cost burden, this webinar will examine the "define and refine" methodology—a systematic approach to optimizing material composition and recipe accuracy. Attendees will learn how continuous production cycles reduce energy demand and processing steps compared to traditional batch methods, supported by data-driven insights into carbon dioxide reduction and process repeatability.
