to the CDCQ to validate the use of recycled carbon fibers in large composite parts. Bell Helicopter and_x000D_
Bombardier Aerospace are both user of carbon fibers in their parts and generate carbon fiber wastes. These_x000D_
three industrial partners are looking for low cost solutions to reduce weight and the introduction of recycled_x000D_
carbon fibers in their products could very well be the solution. Environmental sustainability is a value for all of_x000D_
them. Reducing their environmental foot print by developing a way to recycle carbon fibers that would_x000D_
otherwise go to the landfill is one step in the direction of a circular economy model. Many research team and_x000D_
lab are attempting to revalorize waste carbon prepreg from the aerospace industries. However these efforts_x000D_
have been unsuccessful so far because the tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers of carbon composites parts have not been_x000D_
able to demonstrate that these materials are suitable for relevant applications, and that the supply chain is in_x000D_
place to sustain production over an extended period. Therefore the first step is to create a momentum to locally_x000D_
valorize carbon fiber waste by demonstrating the value and performance of parts produced with these recycled_x000D_
materials. Once these facts are proven, it will be beneficial to reuse these fibers. The OEMs will be able to_x000D_
