ZUKM plant from UMATEX division, a part of the state corporation Rosatom, has started testing new equipment for fiber cutting as part of creating its own unique composite recycling system.

The project is aimed at solving the problem of carbon fiber production waste recycling. The plant's specialists plan to create a system ensuring recycling of carbon plastics and production of new products from them. The demand for goods produced under the new project is planned to be met by order from the key enterprises operating in strategic sectors of Russian industry.

In order to develop the industry, the first Russian interregional cluster "Composites without borders" was created with the participation of UMATEX.
