Historically, plywood and other materials have been used as structural panels across a variety of industries.
However, as sustainability initiatives grow and designs become increasingly complex, new material alternatives are needed.
They are custom engineered to meet specific performance requirements: core thickness can be varied to change stiffness, core materials can be selected to achieve weight targets, fiber choice can modify stiffness-to-weight ratio, and the polymer matrix choice affects strength.

CycleWorks can develop recycling-friendly product
solutions to increase the recyclability of plastic
products and, by understanding the chemistry
of polymers in the mechanical recycling process,
can provide data to help develop new and unique
polymer formulations.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PLASTICS FOR
PACKAGING
Compared to alternative materials, plastic is
one of the most sustainable materials available
for packaging applications.
These issues can lead to
“downcycling” of the material to a low-value
application.

History
PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the polyester family.
It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.
