Recycled carbon fiber is not a single interchangeable material. An enquiry should identify the recovered form and the proposed composite construction before comparing it with an existing part.

Carbon fibre is the reinforcement; fabric is one way of arranging it; a cured laminate combines reinforcement with a matrix into a part. Keeping these terms separate makes a material enquiry much clearer.
