Catack-H and Lineat Partner on Recycled Carbon Fiber Tapes for Asia-Pacific Markets

Catack-H, a South Korean carbon fiber recycler, and Lineat, a UK-based sustainable materials firm, have signed a memorandum of understanding to co-develop unidirectional prepreg tapes made from recycled carbon fiber. The partnership combines Catack-H's regenerated fibers with Lineat's fiber alignment technology to close the performance gap between recycled and virgin carbon fiber. Initial efforts will focus on product validation and market entry in the Asia-Pacific region, targeting automotive, aerospace, electronics, and sports equipment sectors. The MOU also includes a distribution partnership to commercialize these materials in South Korea and expand internationally. Both companies emphasize that this is more than recycling, aiming to produce high-performance composites that meet industrial standards. The collaboration begins immediately, with a focus on securing local supply chains in high-demand industries.
