Developed for advanced applications in transportation, these materials contain a minimum of 30% bio-based content, and are in current evaluations at several key automotive OEMs. These natural fiber-filled solutions can be processed on standard machinery and tooling at low injection molding temperatures and short cycle times, and will complement the advanced long and short fiber solutions in PolyOne’s current portfolio.

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. Embracing advanced recycling techniques, optimizing manufacturing processes, and engaging stakeholders across the supply chain are crucial steps on this journey.

While most batteries are traditionally metal-based, there are significant advantages to using polymers (plastics) instead, especially with recent advancements in polymer science that make using these materials in electric vehicle batteries possible. As research and development continues, we can expect further advancements in battery technologies, leading to even more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles.
