ShinMaywa Industries’ Aircraft Division is tackling recycling challenges in the aerospace industry to help build a more sustainable future.
Current status and challenges of CFRP
In the latest 2030s, the late aircraft models will begin to retire in large numbers.
”CFRP recycling become more serious issue.”
If CFRP recycling is not commercially established.
Our recycling efforts
We are trying to recover carbon fiber from CFRP manufacturing scrap and structural parts dismantled from retired aircraft, and turn it into new products.
“Finally, we manufacture meal trays and other products.”
The future of recycled CFRP
We aim to achieve optimal remanufacturing based on the shape of recycled carbon fibers.
CFRP recycling framework
The three companies have jointly invested in this project with the aim of realizing CFRP recycling.
