It is a strong and durable material. As the structure is lightweight, it requires less manpower for material handling. It is well suited for constructing windows, door systems, exterior trim, decks, columns, fences, and pergolas.
Carbon fiber ─ made from thin strong crystalline carbon filaments ─ is increasingly used in the construction of buildings and structures. The long molecular strings are bound together with carbon atoms and then woven together to form cloth. Carbon fiber can be laid over a mold and coated in resin or plastic.
Global carbon fiber building enclosure market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Dell Launches Industry First Recycled Carbon Fiber, Advances Circular Economy Model for IT Industry. Dell has partnered with supplier SABIC to recycle excess carbon fiber and scrap raw materials into new Dell products. Initially, select Latitude and Alienware products will contain recycled carbon fiber, with plans to expand across these two product portfolios.
Dell estimates that by partnering with SABIC, it will prevent 820,000 pounds of carbon fiber from ending up in landfills. The recycled carbon fiber materials have an approximately 11 percent smaller carbon footprint than simply using virgin carbon fiber.
Since Dell began pioneering its closed-loop recycled plastics supply chain, the company has recycled 4.2 million pounds of closed-loop plastics into enclosures for new Dell products.
These plastics were used in more than 30 flat panel monitor models and three Dell OptiPlex desktops available globally, with plans to scale across servers and other products. Dell’s process was certified by UL Environment as the first closed-loop supply chain, and continues to be the only one in the industry. Dell was also able to reduce its product carbon footprint via the closed-loop products by 11 percent and realized a cost savings over previous sources.
