The MC4 project aims at finding short term and long-term solutions for carbon and glass fibre composites recycling. One of the final goals is to produce our own feedstock of glass and carbon fibres. Indeed, the recycled fibres will become the new raw materials for future development of composite materials in Europe. Furthermore, becoming independent… Continue reading Evolution of EU regulations and global economic strategies

Carbon fibres composites chemical recycling (Gaiker)
Gaiker Technological Center one of the MC4 project partners is currently doing tests for the chemical recycling of the carbon fibre composites. The process corresponds to a solvolyse which is the long term solution for the recycling of these fibres. This method will allow to obtain the fibres and reuse them as fabric or nonwoven… Continue reading Carbon fibres composites chemical recycling (Gaiker)
The origins and meaning of the MC4 name
In the textile industry, composite materials are more and more often used due to their specific properties enabling them to be used in very technical applications like the aerospace, automotive or the sports industry. Currently, up to 40% of the material is wasted in the production process, and after a lifetime of 15 to 30… Continue reading The origins and meaning of the MC4 name
