Global demand for CFRP reached approximately 199,000 tons in 2022. Global recycling capacity is still limited at roughly

Modern recycling methods are categorized based on their approach to breaking down the polymer matrix: , each producing 2,000 tons of recycled fiber annually

Recycling high-performance carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) is a critical focus for achieving a circular economy, as roughly of carbon fiber used in manufacturing becomes waste . While historically most of this waste ended up in landfills, current technologies now allow for the recovery of carbon fibers that retain over 90% to 99% of their original mechanical properties.
