👉 The Dust Project is an initiative led by the University of California, Berkeley, aimed at developing a scalable, low-cost, and sustainable method for producing high-quality, vertically grown carbon fiber from recycled plastic waste. By utilizing a proprietary process that involves extruding and spinning plastic waste into carbon fibers, the project seeks to address environmental pollution while creating a valuable material with applications in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. This innovative approach not only reduces landfill waste but also offers a promising alternative to traditional carbon fiber production, which is energy-intensive and reliant on non-renewable resources.
