EuCIA, together with leading stakeholders in the carbon fibre value chain, has published a position paper welcoming the European Commission’s revision of the End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive.

Inspired by the jumping movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a 5-inch soft robot capable of leaping as high as a basketball hoop. The robot, constructed from a ...

Carbon fiber has a huge environmental impact and possible health hazards, and new materials such as Galvorn may end up replacing it in the future.

Inspired by the movements of a tiny parasitic worm, engineers have created a 5-inch soft robot that can jump as high as a basketball hoop. Their device, a silicone rod with a carbon-fiber spine ...

The European Parliament considered adding carbon fiber to a list of hazardous materials, which would have effectively banned its use in automotive vehicles.

A new EU draft proposal could classify carbon fiber as hazardous automotive material. Ban would threaten carmakers relying on carbon fiber to cut EV weight and improve range. Even if passed, the ...

The European Union is concerned about how carbon fiber gets recycled and disposed. Automakers like the material for its light weight and strength.

The lightness and strength of carbon fiber have made it a near-ubiquitous means of reducing the weight of new cars, especially heavier, battery-laden electric vehicles. However, the European Union ...

European regulators might drop the ban hammer on carbon fiber due to health and environmental concerns. Lawmakers are floating the idea of adding it to the list of banned hazardous materials ...

The EU says the risk of painful contact with the skin, mucous membranes and organ linings is simply too high for carbon fiber to be safely recycled by humans.
