Smaranda Jaun
Chief Investor Relations Officer Composite Recycling
Composite Recycling has pioneered a novel approach for recycling glass fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP) into reclaimed glass fibres and pyrolysis oil, in an energy-efficient and economically viable way, such that they can be reused in the manufacturing of high-quality new composites. Fibreglass waste from boat hulls, wind turbine blades, aeroplane and auto interiors, etc, represents a mounting problem for the industry and for the environment. Our mission is to divert such waste away from landfill and incineration by transforming them into high-value secondary raw materials that can enter the circular economy. Our business is two-fold: (1) we service clients who need a better solution for disposing of their fibreglass waste, and (2) we supply the outputs to manufacturers who want to incorporate recycled content into their production.
