Syensqo’s (Alpharetta, Ga., U.S. and Brussels, Belgium) sustainability strategy is at the core of its JEC World 2025 exhibition. The global advanced materials company, previously part of Solvay Group, anticipates the unveiling of new initiatives and demonstration of its advancements in material and processing technologies. 

“[For example] we are introducing ReGen, a portfolio of sustainable composites that deliver the same high performance our customers have come to rely on,” says Rodrigo Elizondo, president of Syensqo Composite Materials. “We are [also] excited to engage with customers and explore new projects and collaborations.”

Syensqo is dedicated to furthering the adoption of composites for meeting lightweighting objectives. This includes investing in their industrialization through the development of fast-cure products and high-rate manufacturing technologies. At the show, Syensqo promotes its portfolio of technologies and showcases various components and flagship projects including:

An electric car battery box. Developed by Syensqo with Ricardo and Airborne, leveraging SolvaLite 716FR and recyclate molding compound (RMC) technology, this is said to be the first fully composite enclosure to meet all major automotive mechanical and fire safety standards.

A wing spar from Ascendance’s ATEA VTOL prototype made using Syensqo’s MTM 45-1 epoxy resin system for its high-performance and flexible curing properties. ATEA offers a low-carbon footprint, 400-kilometer range and a 75% reduction in noise emissions, providing a quiet, efficient and sustainable alternative to conventional aircraft.

Microlauncher components — including a coaxial liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tank dome and liquid oxygen (LOX) sealing ring — manufactured by Orbex using Syensqo’s Cycom 5320-1 thermoset resin system, coupled with Syensqo’s Thornel T650 fabric. These parts play a critical role in Orbex’s carbon fiber coaxial tank, specifically designed for its BioLPG fuel system. Orbex aims to recover these components with each Stage 1 launch, advancing the path toward more sustainable space exploration.

The Climate Impulse project which, led by Bertrand Piccard and Raphael Dinelli and powered by Syensqo’s technology, aims to design and fly the first zero-emission hydrogen plane non-stop around the world in 9 days. At the event, attendees can engage with the Syensqo team to gain insights into the progress achieved since the project’s launch in early 2024, and discover the upcoming steps in the journey advancing sustainable aviation.

Syensqo is also introducing ReGen, a portfolio of sustainable composite materials containing controlled blend and/or mass-balanced renewable feedstocks, that deliver performance equivalent to their parent materials. ReGen responds to a market desire for circular composites, without the need to make modifications to existing manufacturing processes.

Throughout 2025, Syensqo will be launching SolvaLite 714 ReGen, MTM 57 ReGen and MTM 58B ReGen for the automotive market. MTM 49-3 resin with biocontent, launched in 2024, is now also part of the ReGen portfolio.

In addition, Syensqo showcases how its RMC technology — designed to turn prepreg scrap into valuable, nonstructural materials — has been efficiently used in the BEMA project. RMC offers 100% use of material for increased cost-effectiveness and sustainability.

The company says it is forming partnerships with recyclers and supporting the development of appropriate technologies to ensure that the supply chain can maximize the use of high value-added composites.
