On September 30, 2019 the kick-off meeting of the CIRCE – Circular Economy Model for Carbon Fibre Prepregs project was held at HP Composites headquarters.
CIRCE is a LIFE project (LIFE18 ENV/IT/000155) co-financed by the European Union, carried out by HP Composites, as coordinating beneficiary, along with four other Italian partners: Alci, Base Protection, CETMA and Petroceramics.
The project has a total duration of three years (01/09/2019 – 31/08/2022) and aims to set-up a circular economy model for scraps of uncured carbon fiber prepregs. The ultimate goal is 100% valorization of this waste, to transform it into a useful secondary raw material.
