Syensqo S.A. (Brussels, Belgium) and Fairmat S.A.S., a French company that turns carbon fiber into scalable, high-performance recycled materials, have entered into a collaboration agreement. Under this agreement, Fairmat will recycle Syensqo’s U.K. carbon fiber prepreg waste, transforming it into valuable resources for the production of new products in the sports, energy, mobility, and electronics markets.
“This new collaboration between Syensqo and Fairmat adds to our other recycling agreements worldwide and is integral to our comprehensive strategy to advance on composite materials’ circularity. We see in Fairmat a mature partner that offers a reliable and sustainable business model. We look forward to seeing where this new partnership takes us,” said Gabriel Molina, Sustainable Development Director at Syensqo Composite Materials.
“We are proud to partner with Syensqo and help them achieve a sustainable outcome for their U.K. waste. Thanks to our proprietary and proven technology we will extract precious value out of their materials to create new engineered materials for high performance applications,” Benjamin Saada, Founder & CEO, Fairmat. The company previously announced a partnership with Hexcel to recycle carbon-fiber composites in the U.S.
