VDMA Awards Recognize Innovations in Carbon Fibre Recycling and Texturing Technologies
The VDMA Walter Reiners Foundation has awarded significant prizes for advancements in sustainable textile technologies, highlighting a novel electrochemical method for carbon fibre reclamation and innovative heating solutions in texturing processes.

Sabina Dann received the Master Sustainability Prize for her thesis on electrochemical surface treatment of carbon fibres, enhancing their solvolytic recovery resistance. This approach supports recycling in lightweight sectors like aerospace and automotive, promoting a circular economy in composite materials.
Lukas Balon's Master’s Scholarship recognized his work on a CFD model for die-texturing, improving yarn crimping processes for diverse applications. Annegret Storm's bachelor's thesis introduced a microwave heating concept for false-twist texturing, reducing heater length by 60%, potentially increasing production efficiency. These innovations could significantly impact resource management and production efficiency in the textile industry.
