We know designing sustainable solutions often comes with challenges and questions. It is designed to be repeatedly recycled because it can be heated and reshaped over and over again. Bottles and packaging made from plastic are recycled by consumers – either in their community curbside collections or by depositing recyclables in designated bins.

Because of the nearly limitless possibilities and versatility, material engineers and designers have the freedom and creativity to create new material combinations to uniquely serve new applications. Design flexibility — Composites can be molded into complex shapes and textures at a relatively low cost. Using composite material in automobiles can lower tooling costs and improve design flexibility for manufacturers, while improving fuel efficiency  and the overall driving experience for the consumer by reducing noise and vibration.
