This partnership will leverage Vartega’s process to convert Syensqo’s dry carbon fiber and prepreg waste from its North American sites, into Vartega’s high-quality carbon fiber EasyFeed Bundles.

This recycled material will be integrated into Syensqo’s carbon fiber reinforced specialty polymers ECHO portfolio, which is renowned for its use in high-performance applications in the automotive industry. Typical examples are structural parts, dampening rings and transmission-related applications.

By enabling circularity in carbon fiber usage, this collaboration underscores the ability to combine recycling with exceptional performance. It reflects Syensqo's commitment to sustainability and innovation, demonstrating how advanced materials contribute to a more sustainable future.
