Recycling Solutions

Pioneering Sustainable Composite Recycling

In the world of composites, Cygnet Texkimp stands at the forefront of sustainable innovation, leading the transition toward a circular economy for advanced materials. Our Recycling Solutions enable manufacturers to reclaim and reuse valuable fibres from end-of-life composites, reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimising reliance on virgin materials.

As demand for composite materials accelerates across aerospace, automotive, marine, construction, and energy, so too does the need for clean, efficient, and scalable recycling technologies. Cygnet Texkimp’s expertise in composite handling, automation, and process engineering positions us as a trusted partner for sustainability-driven manufacturing. We don’t just recycle composites — we restore their value, integrity, and performance.

Embrace Sustainability with DEECOM®

At the heart of our recycling innovation lies DEECOM® , a revolutionary pressolysis technology developed over a decade of research by B&M Longworth  and now offered through Cygnet Texkimp. Unlike conventional recycling methods such as pyrolysis (burning) or solvolysis (chemical dissolution), which degrade fibre quality, DEECOM® uses superheated steam and pressure cycles to separate resin from fibre without damage or chemical residue.

This process preserves fibre integrity and strength, producing near-virgin quality materials suitable for reprocessing into high-grade composites. The result: woven fabrics, chopped fibres, or continuous filaments are returned in their original format — simply free of resin and ready for reuse.

DEECOM® uses a thermo-cyclic form of pressolysis — the reduction of material to its plasmic state using pressure.

Through controlled compression and decompression, superheated steam physically fractures and lifts the polymeric resin from the fibre surface, effectively reversing the resin-fibre bond.

This advanced process enables:

  • Complete resin removal without burning or solvents
  • Preservation of fibre form and mechanical performance
  • Applicability to thermoset and thermoplastic composites
  • Customisable system design to suit space, scale, and output goals

So novel is this approach that pressolysis has been recognised by the British Standards Institution  (BSI) as a new, distinct recycling method, separate from pyrolysis, solvolysis, or mechanical processing.

The reclaimed fibres from DEECOM® are of exceptional purity and strength, making them ideal for reuse in aerospace, automotive, marine, and construction applications.

Manufacturers benefit from:

  • High-quality recycled fibres suitable for structural use
  • Reduced dependency on virgin carbon and glass fibres
  • Lower environmental impact and lifecycle emissions
  • Improved cost-efficiency and supply chain resilience

With DEECOM®, composite waste becomes a valuable resource, supporting a truly circular composites economy.

As composite use grows globally, so does the challenge of waste management and raw material scarcity.

Traditional disposal methods are hazardous, inefficient, and unsustainable.

Cygnet Texkimp’s Recycling Solutions and DEECOM® process directly address these issues by providing:

  • A safe, solvent-free recycling method
  • A reliable source of reclaimed, high-performance fibres

Scalable systems designed for commercial and industrial integration

In addition to DEECOM®, Cygnet Texkimp offers comprehensive consultancy and machinery solutions to support the full recycling chain, including:

  • Shredding and chopping
  • Milling and pelletising
  • Bagging, handling, and palletising
  • Automation and process integration

Our carbon fibre handling and process knowledge ensures these technologies operate safely and efficiently — enabling customers to meet sustainability goals without compromising on productivity or performance.

With a legacy of engineering excellence and materials innovation, Cygnet Texkimp is redefining how the composites industry approaches sustainability. Through DEECOM® pressolysis and our integrated recycling solutions, we help manufacturers recover, reuse, and reimagine the full potential of fibre-based materials.

Together, we can create a cleaner, more resource-efficient, and resilient composites industry.
