Dang, the craziness of outsourcing.
A pretty jaw-dropping article (linked below):
“We knew that carbon fiber is not recyclable, but our idea was to create a frame that was indestructible, so at least we could increase the product lifespan,” Kokkonen says. But when he asked what the facility did with the excess carbon trimmed off each frame—about a third of every carbon sheet is wasted—he was shocked by the answer: “They said they dump it in the ocean.”
Short article, from Outside Magazine:

Blog post from the company that cancelled carbon production:
