Scott Francis from @CompositesWorld interviews Ryan Olliges from @elevatedmaterials about their innovative approach to recycling carbon fiber scraps. Elevated Materials has partnered with @toraycompositematerialsame4421 to collect and upcycle reclaimed carbon fiber scraps into large billet laminates, which can then be cut into various parts using CNC mills. This method, which includes compression molding uncured prepreg scraps, is more cost-effective and efficient than traditional laminate production. Elevated Materials aims to divert 50,000 to 100,000 pounds of material from landfills this year, transforming it into useful stock material.
