May the end of this year be a time of serenity, joy and sharing for you and your loved ones. We look forward to seeing you in 2025, ready to explore new horizons together. Happy Holidays,The team PINETTE PEI “Explore the Future.”

PINETTE PEI at JEC 2025 Meet us at Jec World 2025 from March 4 to 6, 2025 at Paris Nord Villepinte Trade shows are a great way to get a feel for the trends happening in a particular industry. In our industry, the composites industry, JEC World is the place to be. Held every year in Paris, JEC World brings together all the major players. JEC World in figures : Over 40,000 trade visitors Over 1,300 exhibitors More than 110 countries Over 76,000m² of floor space Sustainable production of raw materials Almost all thermosetting resins and thermoplastics used today are by-products of oil production, as are many fibers. The manufacture of fibers is also very energy-intensive, requiring a lot of heat for the production of glass fibers or carbon fibers, for example. For a greener composite value chain, every link in the chain needs to be rethought. Bio-composites One way of moving away from fossil fuels for composite raw materials is to rely on bio-resins and natural fibers. Bio-resins are mostly produced from soy (polyol) and corn (ethanol), but compete with the currently fashionable biofuel. These bio-based products face challenges such as rising food prices, availability of farmland and other environmental concerns. Natural fibers are becoming increasingly popular due to their very low weight, sufficient structural performance, recyclability and durability. The automotive industry already uses natural fibers for interior parts such as door panels, seat backs and headliners. Recycling Recyclers must be considered as part of the composites value chain, along with suppliers of fibers, resins and prepregs, and parts manufacturers. Still in the development stage, the recycling of composite parts focuses mainly on recovering fibers for reuse. But recycling processes are based on either chemical dissolution (solvolysis) or combustion (pyrolysis) of the resin, neither of which are environmentally friendly. New epoxy resins are currently being developed which could be dissolved and then reused. All these technologies will only succeed if they find a viable, scalable business model. Unlike thermosetting resins, whose chemical reaction is not reversible, thermoplastic resins can be reused in a variety of ways. These characteristics make thermoplastic parts easy to repair and facilitate end-of-life recycling.
