The JEC World 2025 conference focused on the latest innovations in composites, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and circular economy. The European Circular Composites Alliance was launched to promote the use of recovered and recycled composites and develop standards for circular product design. Several partnerships were announced, including a carbon fiber recycling alliance between Vartega and Syensqo, and a collaboration between SFG Composites and Bcomp to provide biomaterial options.
The conference showcased various recycling technologies, including mobile recycling solutions, thermolysis-based recycling, and solvolysis-based recycling. Companies such as Carbon Cleanup, Composite Recycling, and Spiral RTC are working on recycling technologies for carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics. New applications for recycled materials were displayed, including nonwovens, organosheets, and prepreg tapes.
Recyclable resins were also a focus, with companies such as Swancor and Arkema developing thermoset resins designed for recycling. Biocomposite materials and technologies were also showcased, including natural fiber composite materials and processes from companies like Bcomp and SFG Composites.
The conference also highlighted the importance of building supply chains for recycling and the need for applications and uses for recycled materials. Companies like Infinici and Nova Carbon are developing nonwovens and prepreg tapes from recycled carbon fiber, while Lineat Composites is working on aligned, unidirectional prepreg tapes.
The JEC World 2025 conference demonstrated the progress being made in the composites industry towards a more sustainable future, with companies and researchers working together to develop new technologies and materials that can help reduce waste and reduce the environmental impact of the industry.
