About this project
Washington’s pioneering Composite Recycling Technology Center in Port Angeles is working to fully divert Washington State’s carbon fiber scraps into value-added products, which is important considering how much carbon fiber is produced by our local aerospace industry. The Composite Recycling Technology Center’s inherent commitment to reducing environmental waste is now accelerated with nearly 100 kilowatts of renewable energy.

“A&R was vital in helping the team understand what needed to happen for these buildings to receive solar, and made the transition very seamless through the planning phase. [The installation] was carried out by thoughtful, user friendly installers that provided a high level of quality. The quality is proven by the fact that this system has been reeling in solar credits for the owner for 5 years now without any issues!””
