With appropriate material selection and part design
optimization, long carbon fiber materials can reduce
the weight of components up to 50% compared to
aluminum.
Complēt™ LCF
Long carbon fiber reinforced materials have higher
rigidity/modulus, higher strength, lighter weight, and
more marketability potential than glass fiber, making
it the ideal fiber reinforcement for metal replacement.
Complēt™ PKE
Long glass fiber reinforced polyketone solutions that
deliver excellent chemical resistance, low moisture
uptake, and a reduced carbon footprint.

Sources: McKinsey, Standard & Poor’s 2022
• Recycled plastics demand is expected to
grow at a 12% CAGR through 2030
• Demand is constrained by availability of
recycled content and will need investments
in both mechanical and chemical processes
• As recycled content becomes more
available, it is expected to make up 30% of
all plastics demand by 2040

KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Meet Aggressive Sustainability Goals - While brand owners have made
strong, public sustainability commitments – many are currently trailing far
behind goals
• Develop Strategies to Minimize Plastic Waste - Plastic waste remains
a global priority with consumers and legislatures – forcing brand owners to
implement tangible mitigation strategies
• Increase Post Consumer Recycle (PCR) Utilization & Post
Consumer Recycle Availability - Increasing the use of PCR is far more
challenging than many companies had anticipated
• Meet Legislation Requirements - Legislatures are drafting financial
penalties for companies unable or unwilling to meet post-consumer recycled
content targets

recycled content and
minimize plastic waste
