To inspire and grow the global composite recycling community through innovation in technology and manufacturing. We work to transform carbon fiber scrap and undervalued wood into products that positively impact people’s lives and our environment.
OUR MISSION
LIVING OUR MISSION
As stewards of our global community, we are dedicated to giving back through collaborative teamwork, service, and the development of impactful products such as orthopedic springs and emergency housing.
Composite Recycling Technology Center was founded in Port Angeles, Washington in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit manufacturing organization with a clear mission:
Keep aerospace-grade carbon fiber out of landfills and transform it into high-performance products.
The Olympic Peninsula has a strong aerospace manufacturing presence, and large amounts of excess or end-of-life carbon fiber are being discarded. CRTC was created to solve that problem by reclaiming this advanced material and giving it new life. In 2024, CRTC Ranks Among Highest Scoring Businesses on Inc.’s Annual List of Best Workplaces for 2024.
