On February 8, 2024, Rumpke Waste & Recycling (Rumpke) and Eastman announced a partnership to help address the global plastic waste crisis. Later this year, Rumpke will begin collecting and sorting hard-to-recycle and colored PET packaging waste, materials that are reportedly largely unaddressed in today's recycling ecosystem and will provide 100 percent of this waste stream as feedstock to Eastman's molecular recycling process. Eastman will then turn this waste stream into virgin quality polyesters with its molecular recycling technology to be used across a range of packaging applications and to expand the circular economy for polyesters.

On March 7, 2024, Arkema announced it had completed the first aeronautical structure made of thermoplastic composites. This was a result from the strategic partnership between Hexcel and Arkema. The high-performance thermoplastic composite structure was designed and manufactured using HexPly® thermoplastic tapes. These aerospace-grade materials are developed from Arkema's Kepstan® PEKK resin and Hexcel HexTow® AS7 and IM7 carbon fibers. The demonstrator project was carried out as part of the collaborative project known as HAICoPAS.
