FIB3R: the plant that recycles carbon fibre
and promotes the ecological transition
Located in the heart of the Motor Valley, near the Imola International Circuit, FIB3R is an innovative plant that recycles composite carbon materials, developed by the Hera Group.
The result of three years of scientific experimentation, in collaboration with the Industrial Chemistry Department at the University of Bologna and technology partner Curti, FIB3R operates with a focus on innovating the 3Rs: Recover, Reduce, Reuse Carbon Fibre, driving a virtuous recycling process that enhances the sustainability of production processes.
The project has obtained a contribution from the European Union under the NRRP (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) for the innovativeness of the technology it uses and the strategic importance of the materials involved.
The advantages of recycled carbon fibre
Carbon fibre composite materials are used in various high-tech sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, marine, furniture, and textiles. Thanks to the regeneration process that takes place at FIB3R, the fibre can be reused in an essentially infinite cycle, maintaining its lightness and high strength.
