The Composite Recycling Technology Center (CRTC) is a nonprofit organization based in Port Angeles, Washington, focused on transforming high-performance scrap materials into durable, sustainable products. It diverts large volumes of carbon fiber from landfills and repurposes them into lightweight, high-performance items, addressing waste streams in advanced composites. In collaboration with the Makah Tribe, CRTC is also developing Coastal Western Hemlock products through thermal modification and cross-lamination to create durable materials suitable for construction and other applications. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector and serves clients looking for sustainable material solutions and recycling of aerospace-grade carbon fiber scrap. Recent developments include the launch of Advanced Cross-Laminated Timber, which uses Coastal Western Hemlock and is designed to meet CLT specifications, reflecting the center’s focus on innovative, material-efficient products.
