en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nova Carbon (Mérignac, France) has partnered with regional composites manufacturer CMP Composites (Essines, France) to regularly collect and recycle CMP's production scrap. The startup, which specializes in textile-based carbon fiber recycling technology, says the collaboration has already yielded its first application: manufacturing small offshore wind power turbine blades containing Nova Carbon's recycled and rearranged long carbon fibers (rCF).

CMP Composites has doubled its annual revenue each year for the past five years. This partnership aims to reduce CMP's waste stream while improving the environmental footprint of its operations by keeping production scrap in a circular loop, avoiding landfill or low-value disposal. The wind turbine blade project marks the first use of Nova Carbon's material in this application category. Nova Carbon states that the project is a fully realized industrial project, not a concept or prototype. Marc Augustin, General Manager of CMP Composites, discusses the shared direction of the two companies in a related video.

Hugo Cartron, co-founder and President of Nova Carbon, says the two companies share a common goal of keeping valuable carbon fiber in a circular loop and transforming end-of-life materials into high-performance applications. He describes the collaboration as a demonstration of what can be achieved when advanced materials innovation is combined with composites manufacturing expertise.

Nova Carbon explains that its recycling process differs from traditional mechanical recycling methods, which often shorten fiber length and reduce mechanical properties. The company's textile-based approach preserves tow structure and fiber length through rearrangement and controlled reshaping, reconstructing fiber tows into technical fabrics for high-value applications. The company offers a range of intermediate material forms, including non-crimp fabrics, dry fiber tapes, and continuous fibers, compatible with infusion, prepreg, and thermoforming processes.
