Using aviation based reclaimed carbon fibres for BMC.

该项目的目标是研究和开发一系列复合材料（称为散装成型化合物），使用从报废（EOL）飞机和航空航天生产废料中回收的再生碳纤维。这种材料将适用于轻型汽车零部件的大规模批量生产，使用目前被送往垃圾填埋场或焚烧的材料。与生产原始碳纤维相比，这种方法将通过减少制造过程中的能源消耗来减少车辆对环境的影响。所有联盟成员都位于英国，但产出具有大规模出口潜力和创造就业机会的可能性。吉凯恩公司可以提供航空废弃物碳纤维增强塑料，并对开发的材料进行加工，形成循环供应链。FTI集团将开发BMC材料，TTUK提供再生纤维。

The objective of the project is to research and develop a range of composite materials (known as bulk moulding compounds) using recycled carbon fibres reclaimed from end-of-life (EOL) aircraft and aerospace production waste. The material will be suitable for large scale volume production of lightweight automotive components, using material that is currently sent to landfill or burned. This approach will reduce the environmental impact of the vehicle through reduced energy usage in manufacturing when compared to the production of virgin carbon fibres. All the consortium members are UK based but the output has large scale export potential and job creation possibilities. GKN can supply aviation waste CFRP and process the developed material giving a circular supply chain. FTI Group will develop the BMC materials and TTUK supply the reclaimed fibres.
