Our Journey Towards a More Sustainable Future
Solving the World Toughest Recycling Challenges
Listen to Founder & CEO, Andrew Maxey, as he shares more about his inspiring journey and discusses his insightful vision for Vartega and its future.
Our Mission
Founded in 2014, Vartega's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its innovative recycling process, which transforms waste carbon fiber into high-performance materials. By converting discarded composite materials into recycled fibers with similar mechanical properties to virgin carbon fiber, Vartega addresses both environmental concerns and the growing demand for lightweight, strong materials.
The versatility of Vartega's recycled carbon fibers allows for their incorporation into various applications, including thermoplastic compounding for additive manufacturing and injection molding. These compounded polymers allows industries such as automotive, aerospace, and marine to benefit from engineering-grade thermoplastics that meet their stringent performance requirements while also contributing to reduced environmental impact.
Significant Quantities of Industrial Waste…diverted from landfills annually
By utilizing the Vartega process, significant quantities of industrial waste can be effectively diverted from landfills annually. This effort not only contributes to positive environmental outcomes but also fosters economic benefits through the creation of new materials. The innovative recycling approach employed by Vartega enhances the supply of high-quality, responsibly sourced chopped carbon fiber, thus supporting sustainable manufacturing practices and reducing reliance on virgin materials. This dual impact underscores the importance of recycling initiatives in promoting a circular economy.
Social Impact
Vartega is pioneering sustainability by converting previous unusable waste streams, like carbon fiber, into reusable products. This innovative approach has captured the attention of industries, consumers & investors, which increasingly acknowledge the importance of sustainable materials. The integration of these materials into product development is catalyzing innovation and creating new opportunities for businesses. By adopting sustainable practices, companies can improve their product portfolios while significantly reducing their environmental footprint.
As sustainable materials like Vartega’s recycled carbon fiber, become more mainstream, industries can expect to see a positive impact on both their bottom line and the environment, creating a win-win scenario that benefits society as a whole.
