The graph above shows the result of tensile load applied longitudinally to three laminate samples made with Polystrand™ continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in 2-, 4- and 6-ply configurations, illustrated below.
The 4- and 6-ply samples in the above graph were loaded in the transverse direction.
The 4-ply sample here has similar tensile performance as the 4-ply sample in Figure 1, which is expected because the two samples contain an equal balance of 0- and 90-degree fibers.

They should contain at least
25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and
30% by 2030 (for all bottles).
Looking ahead to 2025,
there will be an annual gap of one billion pounds between the current U.S.
