The aerospace industry is prominent is Washington state. As part of the manufacturing process, highly engineered carbon fiber and glass fiber composite scraps are available for recycling. We are researching the use of this material in cementitious materials for tougher and more durable infrastructure. In late 2015, we partnered with Boeing and infused pervious concrete with their scrap carbon fiber composites at different volume fractions. Preliminary results were promising, as such, we are working on expanding our exploratory experiment to a more in-depth investigation. Watch the video below to learn more about this partnership.
