This week David Morgan, the chief strategy officer at Carbon Rivers joins me to discuss their upcycle programs in the wind energy, automotive, marine, construction, and glass fiber markets. Carbon Rivers is a Certified Small Business founded by engineers and scientists, headquartered in Knoxville, TN.
Their process separates polymers and other organic materials from fiberglass reinforcement, allowing the fibers to be recovered mechanically intact and then reused.
The recovered fiberglass can be upcycled into a variety of composite materials such as nonwoven fabrics, compounded thermoplastics, injection molding pellets, and 3D printer filaments.
