Recycling composite materials—often made from glass or carbon fibers and plastic resins—remains a challenge, with waste from industries such as wind energy and aerospace projected to reach 840,000 tons annually by 2050. This collaboration addresses that issue by incorporating recycled glass fibers into products used in automotive, marine, and construction sectors.
The companies will refine material integration methods, scale Composite Recycling's technology, and conduct technical trials to assess commercial viability. Customers of Owens Corning will gain access to glass reinforcement products containing reclaimed materials, supporting their sustainability goals without compromising performance.
A Letter of Intent has been signed, with plans to finalize a formal agreement within the next 12 months and explore further applications across Owens Corning's portfolio.
Composite Recycling has been ranked among the TOP 100 Swiss startups, partcipated in Venture Leaders, and won Venture Kick. “Venture Kick played a crucial role in laying the foundation for Composite Recycling — it gave us the initial push, both in terms of funding and structure, to turn our vision into a business," highlighted Guillaume Perben, Co-Founder and CEO of Composite Recycling. "Later, Venture Leaders Cleantech provided great connection to investors and network we needed to take the next step."
