Sustainable resin solutions for composites

In recent years, the focus has increasingly shifted towards sustainable and environmentally friendly raw materials and end products. INEOS Composites has also developed the new AROPOL™ PT and ENVIREZ™ resins based on recycled or renewable raw materials. In this way, we are making a significant contribution to significantly reducing environmental impact, enabling our customers to achieve their sustainability goals more quickly without having to compromise on quality or efficiency.

INEOS Composites has gone to great lengths to obtain a usable raw material for resin production from the two raw materials soy and polyethylene terephthalate = PET. For every barrel of AROPOL™ PT resin, for example, more than 1,800 PET bottles are recycled, saving significant resources and energy. Among other things, this makes it possible to reduce the CO2 footprint by up to 30% with the same or even better technical properties than polyester resins based on fossil raw materials.

Up to 40% of the renewable raw material soy is used, which also leads to a significant reduction in the CO2 footprint. In the near future, both methods will be combined to achieve the major goal of a 90% CO2 reduction. AROPOL™ PT and ENVIREZ™ resins are already available for almost all applications.
