Our take
Second-generation materials are those that have previously had a life within an object, but are recycled to be used as a less complex material in new products and objects. Carbon fiber composites, for instance, are used in renewable energy hardware and aircrafts - and once these parts reach the end of their lifespan, Fairmat converts them into new materials through its recycling process.
Fairmat Quest, as the recycled composite is called, is ten times cheaper than first-gen carbon composites, as well as being twice as light as aluminium. This means that the recycling system not only puts less of a strain on the environment, but has many benefits for both sellers and buyers.
With this in mind, it's no surprise that since its founding, Fairmat has signed contracts with companies that amount to more than 35% of the carbon fibre composite waste in Europe. 2025 funding is being used to accelerate the production of its cold-patented Infinity Recycling tech, which enables the near-infinite recycling of carbon fibres. A key entry point into the market for Fairmat is the sports industry, but it is also penetrating mobility, energy and electronics, indicating the success and necessity of its products.
