Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for providing a low permeability pressure containing structure from high performance recycled composite material, such as polymer carbon fiber composite. One or more recycled scrap composite parts are mechanically processed to form a plurality of fragments based on protected carbon fiber, which are then formed into the pressure containing structure. The distribution of the plurality of fragments and fibers included therein generate a tortuous effect that decreases the permeability of the pressure containing structure, such that the pressure containing structure is suitable for transporting and storing gases and other fluids that may corrode traditional steel pressure structures.
