Fully recyclable fiber composite plastics for the circular economy

Plastic pollution is a pressing global issue. The EU is actively working to transform the plastics industry into a circular economy for climate neutrality. The All-Polymer project aimed to develop fully recyclable fiber-reinforced plastic products using innovative thermoplastic unidirectional plastic fiber reinforced tapes (UD tapes).

Advancing circular economy with recyclable fiber composites

The All-Polymer project focused on upgrading secondary plastics with UD tapes, enabling the creation of fully recyclable plastic products. A+ Composites GmbH supplied a range of fiber-reinforced plastic tapes, including an exceptional UD tape made entirely of Polyethylene fibers and matrix. The project collaborated with the universities of Koblenz and Kaiserslautern to conduct material and sustainability studies, ensuring a holistic approach.
