Problem
Traditional materials used in consumer electronics and e-mobility applications often result in devices that are heavy, bulky, and generate significant e-waste, hindering performance and sustainability efforts. Industry leaders have struggled for decades to solve carbon fiber's electrical and wireless compatibility issues.
Solution
Carbon Mobile's HyRECM technology combines carbon fibers with a complementary composite material, creating ultra-thin, lightweight, and connected hardware. This process enables the creation of carbon-fiber-based monocoque structures with signal-allowing properties. The resulting material is durable, stiff, antenna-friendly, and recyclable, addressing the limitations of conventional materials and enabling new design possibilities for improved form factors. HyRECM technology significantly reduces weight and e-waste while enhancing performance and sustainability across various sectors, including consumer electronics and smart mobility.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers of smartphones, wearables, tablets, laptops, AR/VR glasses, drones, electric vehicles, satellites, and e-bikes seeking lighter, stronger, and more sustainable materials.
