Implementing a thermoset resin winding process with recycled carbon fibre yarn should help reducing the CO2 emissions for the raw materials by up to 90% compared to virgin fibres. Tubular winded products, as intended to produce in this project, can be used in a wide range of sporting goods, e.g. as bicycle frames, ski poles or hockey sticks.<\/p>\n

Winding of recycled discontinuous fibre yarn combines the advantages of the winding process together with the excellent mechanical properties of carbon fibres. In a cost efficient, fast, automated and reproducible process, lightweight products can be manufactured with stiffness and strength close to such products made from virgin fibres.<\/p>\n

This Innovation Booster project implemented by V-Carbon will create a starting point for a widespread application of recycled carbon fibres yarn in sporting goods application and other market segments in the future.<\/p>\n
