Long Fiber Recycled Content Formulations

Complēt™ REC Formulations 

Recycled Content LFT Composites Help Further Your Sustainability Story 

The Complēt™ REC portfolio consists of long fiber reinforced composites incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) nylon 6 resin, post-industrial recycled (PIR) nylon 66 resin, and PIR thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin. The PCR content is derived from end-of-life fishing nets that could otherwise contribute to ocean plastic.  
 
These resin sources provide sustainable options for applications that require excellent structural and toughness capabilities while offering comparable performance to standard long fiber materials. With a high strength-to-weight ratio, Complēt REC long fiber composites can be deployed as a sustainable alternative to metals to obtain valuable weight reductions.  
 
These injection-molding composites are ideal for markets and applications directed toward eco-conscious consumers. Uses include lightweight adventure gear for outdoor recreation, sustainable office furniture for LEED-certified buildings, and next-generation vehicles that go further using less energy resources.
