Sustainable Products That Perform:
Vartega & MITO Score Big at CAMX
This week we celebrated America Recycles Day (November 15) by highlighting two amazing IACMI members, MITO Material Solutions and Vartega, which are making recycled composite materials high performers and more sustainable. A new product, Fenix Fiber+, is an innovative combination of MITO’s hybrid graphene additives and Vartega’s sustainably sourced carbon fiber. Together, they are ready to unlock new markets for composites.

Speaking of CAMX...
At CAMX 2023, IACMI and our members had some impactful moments to highlight. It started with the celebration of SAMPE 2023 Fellow Dr. Uday Vaidya at the SAMPE Awards Ceremony. In our booth, we were pleased to showcase a lightweight carbon fiber wind turbine tower, one of our Resource Pool collaborative projects with IsoTruss, TPI Composites and the University of Tennessee. We wrapped up the show with a book signing event with Dr. Vaidya. His three books aim to introduce composites to elementary, middle and high school students under the K-12 program of hands-on learning, InnoCrate.
