ELG Carbon Fibre

This organisation specialises in the industrial-scale recovery and reprocessing of carbon fibre reinforced polymers. Positioned as a secondary raw material supplier in the aerospace value chain, it diverts manufacturing waste and end-of-life structures from landfill through a proprietary pyrolysis process. The company converts scrap into milled, chopped, and non-woven mat products intended for non-structural and semi-structural applications within the aviation and automotive sectors. Historically, the firm has collaborated with major airframe manufacturers and tier-one suppliers to manage carbon fibre offcuts from wide-body aircraft production programmes. Its primary role involves the collection of dry fabric and cured pre-preg waste, which is then refined into high-modulus recycled fibres. These materials have been evaluated for use in interior cabin components and secondary aerodynamic fairings to improve environmental sustainability and reduce material costs. Prospective buyers should verify the specific mechanical properties and sizing treatments of the recycled fibre batches, as these differ significantly from virgin filaments. It is essential to confirm that the reclaimed materials meet the fire, smoke, and toxicity (FST) requirements for specific aerospace cabin environments. Partners should also audit the consistency of the supply chain regarding the feedstock source and the traceability of the carbon fibre grades provided.
