Thermoplastic recycled-content composites can further support a circular economy and help customers lessen their environmental impact.
For example, incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin into composite materials such as unidirectional tape can help reduce the carbon footprint of those composites.

The end-of-life solution uses advanced chemical recycling, known as pyrolysis, to return Dyneema® to its most basic form: ethylene.
By collaborating with key stakeholders throughout the value chain, we’ve been able to establish a recycling solution for Dyneema® without impacting the technology requirements to deliver the world’s strongest fiber™.

The new Cesa tracer concentrates are currently available for polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers, including recycled grades.
In the case of recycled grades, fiber manufacturers can use the tracer concentrate pellets earlier in the production process by adding them to the recycled polymer content (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate bottle flakes or shredded nylon fishing nets) prior to being extruded into pellets.
