en.Wedoany.com Report on Mar 30th, French chemical company Arkema has announced a collaboration with Project Zephir, successfully developing a high-speed skateboard made from recyclable composite materials using Elium® thermoplastic resin. This innovative product is scheduled to debut at the JEC World 2026 exhibition, aiming to demonstrate how high-performance composite materials can integrate circular design principles to offer new solutions for sustainable sports equipment.
The recyclable composite high-speed skateboard is manufactured using recyclable materials, including Elium resin and recycled carbon fiber. It achieves complete chemical recyclability through depolymerization technology, embodying the fusion of environmental protection and high performance.China Chemical Engineering Arkema states that Elium resin, as a liquid thermoplastic material, enables the production of complex and high-precision components, offering performance comparable to traditional thermoset materials in demanding applications, making it suitable for high-strength requirement scenarios.
This recyclable composite high-speed skateboard will be used in upcoming sailboarding competitions and world record attempts, serving as a test platform to validate the material's performance under high-stress environments. The project highlights the potential of recyclable composites in enhancing both performance and sustainability, particularly in fields requiring strength, durability, and precision.
