A key advantage of thermoplastic composites over their thermoset counterparts is their recyclability, the company says, but there are not a lot of real world applications for the recyclate, despite the fact that the process, in essence, is not difficult, involving grinding the materials down and applying heat and pressure to make parts.
TenCate is looking to maximise the recyclate’s economic and technological value and thus its applicability in real-world applications.
