100% recycled glass and carbon fiber non-wovens
100% recycled fiber Non-Wovens: ACCIONA''s using its low-temperature thermal composites recycling process recycles composite waste. The recycled fibers obtained are then processed by ACCIONA into non-woven fabrics to substitute virgin fiber non-woevns like chopped strand mat, which could be used in for manufacturing products for industries like Construction, Automotive, and Renewable Energy.
Why and Whom
ACCIONA, managing global wind farms, needed a recycling solution for end-of-life turbine blades. It then developed a recycling process and later transformed obtained recycled fibers into non-wovens. These non-wovens now tested and validated in automotive (car trunk bases), construction (pultruded profiles), and sports (paddle rackets). This innovation repurposes waste into valuable materials.
Key Benefits
Sustainability: Reduces dependency on virgin fibers by repurposing waste materials, contributing to circular economy goals.Compatibility: Performs equivalently to conventional non-woven under identical processing conditions, ensuring seamless integration for manufacturers.Cost-effectiveness: Potentially lowers material costs by utilizing recycled content without compromising quality.
