rPET Single Waste-Stream Prototype Series with Biochar Filler (1–10 wt%)

A circular composite engineered from recycled PET sourced from ocean-waste water bottles and reinforced with 5 wt% agricultural biochar. This formulation enhances stiffness, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance while reducing carbon footprint. The material offers improved flow, darker natural aesthetics, and strong layer bonding for extrusion and 3D printing. Ideal for sustainable packaging, consumer products, structural prototypes, automotive trim, and eco-friendly construction components.
