Scenarios for 2030 predict that of the 1300kt of PET material coming from PET bottles collected from the market yearly, between 20 to 30% will be colored bottles;2 these will enter their respective sorting and collection systems to ultimately produce rPET material that will be fed as new raw material for non-food PET applications. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Circular Composites: Pioneering innovative approaches to making composites more circular, thereby reducing environmental impact and promoting resource efficiency throughout the product life cycle   Avient Corporation provides specialized and sustainable materials solutions that transform customer challenges into opportunities, bringing new products to life for a better world. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Composition Zylon® PBO is a rigid-rod isotropic crystal polymer that is spun by a dry-jet wet-spinning process.

Composition Similar to Kevlar®, Nomex® is an aromatic polyamide.

Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are unique, high-density materials developed as effective alternatives to lead and other traditional metals. Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals Gravi-Tech™ material delivered customized density and supported electroplating to give the look and feel of metal

In January we acquired Fiber-Line, a global leader in customized engineered fibers and composite materials that serves the fiber optic cable, oil & gas, industrial and consumer industries. Of particular note, our high-strength composites that enable lightweighting and barrier additives that reduce material requirements and increase shelf life both performed exceptionally well. Composites and additives are delivering today, and we expect they will continue to grow well into the future.

They just needed to find the right material. Reduced material usage: The Therma-Tech formulation required 37 percent less material due to its lower density compared with aluminum.  By replacing metal with engineered thermal composites, Kruunutekniikka has been able to drive growth in the emerging solid-state LED lighting market with a solution that is innovative, sought after, cost effective and consistent with the company’s ongoing effort to facilitate sustainable practices.

VALUE SOLUTION Improve safety and reduce costs with Gravi-Tech formulations When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter. Reactive Reactive materials are commonly made from, and are used to bond thermoset materials.

The scope of this certification includes: The manufacture of Advanced Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Laminates.
