We are pleased to announce that Extracthive has won ADEME's RRR call for projects, dedicated to "Innovative solutions for improving the recyclability, recycling and reincorporation of composite materials".

Extracthive was awarded €2.9 million in funding to support the industrialisation of its patented PHYre® technology, a greener solution for recycling carbon fibres from composite waste.

Thanks to this support from ADEME, Extracthive aims to develop the French post-production and end-of-life composites recycling sector and :

  • Increase the volume of carbon fibre available on the market;
  • Offer a processing solution for the volumes of composite waste that are set to increase exponentially in the near future.

Composite materials are made up of a reinforcement (e.g. carbon fibre) which provides mechanical strength and a matrix which is generally a plastic (thermoplastic or thermosetting resin) which ensures the cohesion of the structure.

PHYre® technology is based on the use of a mixture of solvents at moderate temperature to degrade the composite matrix and recover fibres with mechanical properties similar to virgin fibres with 10 times less GHG impact.
