The sustainability goals were clear: conserve more material, reduce energy usage, and reduce plastic waste in the environment. Avient developed new recycled-content materials to enable its customers to achieve their goals and add options for the circular economy. Plastics Industry Association

FRP pultrusions offer several advantages over traditional materials, like metals, ceramics, and unreinforced plastics. Pultruded composites offer a number of advantages over traditional metals and plastics.  If you are a design materials engineer looking for a high-performance composite material for your application, pultruded composites are a good option to consider.

Plastics In many ways, plastics are a perfect example of why a circular economy is so important. If not recycled properly, plastics can ends up in a landfill or, even worse, the ocean. Due to a lack of sorting and processing technology currently available, for example, most recycled plastics are reprocessed and downcycled into lower-value materials like carpet fibers; only 2% are recycled into products with a similar value to the original product.

While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC). Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues.
