Composite comes from the Latin word “componere“. Composite materials are created when two or more substances are combined (physically, not chemically). This creates a new material with special and superior properties.
A fundamental advantage of composite materials is extreme flexibility in shape and strength.

Endless Applications
The properties of composite materials depend on the characteristics of their components—matrices, reinforcements, hardeners, and additives—as well as on the production methods and manufacturing conditions.
This makes the possibilities endless!
In recent years, composites have increasingly replaced traditional materials such as steel, wood, and concrete across a wide range of applications. Industries like aerospace, transportation—including aircraft, trains, and ships—and defense now rely heavily on composite materials.
Composite materials offer a significant advantage due to their recyclability, which can be achieved both through processed methods and without them. When recycled, these materials often retain properties comparable to the original, and in some cases, their performance can even improve compared to the raw materials.

Environmental Responsibility
Composite materials, specifically Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs), offer environmentally friendly options due to their recyclability.
They can be recycled through various methods, both with and without additional processing. Even when recycling is not feasible, these materials naturally biodegrade over time, returning to the environment.
Recycling often results in composite materials with properties comparable to—or in some cases even better than—the original raw materials.
At Scan-Plast, we take environmental responsibility seriously. That’s why we accept our own manufactured products for recycling, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation.
