Trek To Recycle Carbon Fiber Bikes
With a few exceptions (including my alma mater Burley) most of the bicycle industry has not been on the cutting edge of sustainability. I’m really happy to see one of the world leaders in both sales and innovation taking a strong stance.
But Trek, in conjunction with Materials Innovation Technology (MIT), has implemented a solution to recycle carbon fiber scrap from its US facilities. This will make the material less of an environmental burden, diverting a projected 54,000 lbs of material from landfill to re-purposed use each year.
