In Europe, new patent-pending grades are formulated using recovered materials such as recycled polypropylene, recycled oil, and recycled glass filler.
Suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP), the new TPEs have comparable performance to prime grades, and can replace them in typical applications for lawn and garden, outdoor high performance, personal care, footwear, office supplies, houseware durables, and automotive industries.
Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-10/Replacing Aluminum with Long Fiber Thermoplastics _LFT_ Application Bulletin.pdf
Evaluating the Replacement of Aluminum with
Long Fiber Composites
Key Factors for Making an Informed Decision
As costs and competition increase, many original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are exploring
ways to maintain profit margins.
LFTs use
reinforcement fibers (e.g., glass or carbon) that are
in parallel alignment and of uniform length (typically
12 mm), offering metal replacement performance.
Injection molded long fiber composites deliver
comparable performance characteristics to
metals and offer excellent strength-to-weight
ratios.
