The Infinity project aimed to make the use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) in lightweight construction more sustainable through efficient and fiber-friendly recycling of carbon fibers from CFRP and further processing the fibers into a high-performance, highly oriented rCF tape. The quality of the tape could be evaluated and improved in comparison to virgin material with the help of a new type of testing device TAPETEST, which was developed by Textechno as part of the project. Read the full article in “Abfall und Müll” (english and german).
