Syensqo, a leading manufacturer of advanced materials, and Vartega, a pioneer in carbon fiber recycling, have formed a technical and commercial partnership to create a closed-loop ecosystem for post-industrial recycled carbon fiber products. The partnership involves converting Syensqo’s carbon fiber waste into high-quality carbon fiber EasyFeed Bundles, which will be integrated into Syensqo’s ECHO polymer portfolio for high-performance automotive applications. This collaboration promotes circularity, reducing waste while maintaining performance, and reflects Syensqo’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
The partnership aims to enable the use of recycled carbon fiber in high-performance applications, aligning with Syensqo’s One Planet commitment to transition to a circular economy. Vartega CEO Andrew Maxey noted that the company is pleased to collaborate with Syensqo to advance the closed-loop model. The partnership also highlights Syensqo’s leadership in sustainable composites and Vartega’s ability to give composites waste a second life, reducing product carbon footprints. The collaboration demonstrates the companies’ shared goal of creating a more sustainable future for advanced materials.
