The Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials and Sustainability (CEAMS) has won the ‘Sustainability – Circularity’ accolade at the 2025 Composites UK Industry Awards, recognising a milestone in composite recycling and a step towards fully circular composite materials and more resilient, lower-carbon UK supply chains. The project showed that recycled continuous carbon fibre (rCCF) can be re-used to make structural components, with comparable processability and strength. Trials included weaving, braiding, filament winding and tailored fibre placement – using up to 100% recycled content.
