Planet Composite
One common goal: future-ready composites
Planet Composite is our contribution to sustainable and future-ready composites.
Planet Composite
Performance, engineered for what’s next
Technically strong composites are our standard. Planet Composite bridges the gap between application and responsibility and shows how sustainability is created at SAERTEX: as a result of engineering, material expertise and strong partnerships.
We make transparent where we stand, what we have learned and how we work with customers to shape the path towards future-ready composite solutions. Practical. Measurable. Continuously developed – with SAERTEX Circular as the next chapter.

- Wind
All-in-one composite solutions for the wind industry
From materials to technical support: wind energy plays a central role in the energy transition. Our solutions are designed to make rotor blades lighter, more durable and more cost-efficient. From unidirectional NCFs to optimized core materials and customized kits, our products and services work together to enable stable processes, efficient manufacturing and better use of resources.
Cutting & Kitting
SAERTEX® KITS provide custom-cut reinforcements, ready for immediate use in your production. Based on CAD data, all parts are precisely cut, efficiently nested and packed in the correct lay-up sequence. This approach minimizes waste, shortens lay-up time and reduces labor costs for a more efficient manufacturing process.
- Dimensionally accurate cuts & component sets: Cutting according to CAD data and a clear marking system ensure clear workflows, clean processes and consistent component quality.
- Shorter layup time: Thanks to a sophisticated packaging concept and prefabricated layers, assembly time and internal work steps are reduced.
- Improved production planning: Kits are ready to use, making your manufacturing process more transparent and easier to plan.
Our Cutting & Kitting service reduces waste, streamlines production, and makes composite manufacturing more efficient and predictable – for smarter resource use.

High-performance materials for demanding applications
High-performance applications require high-performance material solutions that deliver reliable and predictable results. Controlled processes and defined material properties enable durable components with consistent technical quality. This ensures stable performance across demanding operating conditions and long service lifetimes.
By consistently reducing waste, we make a direct contribution to reducing waste and CO2 emissions in the production of composite materials. Sustainability is therefore not seen as an add-on, but as an integral part of an economical and technically clean production process.

- Industrial Applications
Reliable textile expertise for every movement
Industrial applications require stable, precise materials that can be processed efficiently, while lightweight construction and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important. Composites offer clear advantages in terms of durability - no corrosion and significantly less fatigue - reducing maintenance, replacement and waste. This is Planet Composite in practice: in-depth textile expertise to make composite manufacturing more efficient, reliable and sustainable across industries.
The SAERTEX® Circular concept
Climate change, resource scarcity, and stricter ESG regulations are reshaping global markets. Companies are under increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions, ensure supply chain transparency, and develop future-ready solutions. The EU Taxonomy Regulation provides transparency and guidance on EU-specific requirements.
The key questions are: How can composite solutions become circular and future-ready? And how can ecological requirements be aligned with economic reality?
The answers develop step by step. Through the responsible use of resources and energy. Through rethought processes and new technologies. And through products that combine technical performance, economic efficiency, and measurable sustainability.
We know where we stand today and what we have already achieved. At the same time, we are aware that continuous development is essential – at both company and product level.

EU taxonomy
Executive Briefing
Description: 45-minute board/C-level briefing: The EU taxonomy and requirements for the circular economy explained in compact form - including their relevance from a C-level perspective.
Focus: Importance for profitable growth/risk management & compliance/brand image & positioning/corporate resilience/economic sustainability, typical verification expectations and effects on the „license to operate“.
Result: Common understanding + agreed next steps.
Strategy workshop: Why taxonomy now? What is it all about?
Description: Analysis of your business model and portfolio based on key regulatory drivers and market expectations (EU taxonomy, requirements from customer tenders, circular economy claims, supply chain pressure from OEMs/Tier 1).
Result: Prioritized risk/opportunity list + recommendation where a scan/pilot creates the fastest added value.
Taxonomy pre-scan (status quo)
Description: Structured assessment of the company and a selected product/application (material system, process) using a taxonomy-compliant methodology, specially adapted to composite materials.
Result: Clearly structured taxonomy dashboard (incl. alignment hotspots and „low-hanging fruit“) + prioritized fields of action.
From scan to plan: roadmap workshop
Description: Moderated strategy workshop with management, R&D, sustainability/compliance and sales teams to translate the scan results into an actionable roadmap: strategy, measures, responsibilities, timeline and rough business cases.
Result: Management-ready transformation roadmap towards taxonomy alignment and circular economy.
EU taxonomy compliance package
Description: Establishment or further development of central compliance elements, guidelines (e.g. code of conduct, guidelines, declarations of conformity) and a practical approach for audit-proof documentation.
Result: Solid documentation basis for minimizing risk and increasing audit capability.
EU taxonomy training: implementation in practice
Description: Role-based training that transfers requirements from taxonomy and circular economy into everyday work (e.g. specifications, supplier requirements, product development).
Result: Teams integrate the requirements into their daily practice - not just as a pure compliance issue.
Material analysis: material health & recycling screening
Description: Evaluation of the existing material configuration to analyze recyclability, to prove material purity and to identify substitution potentials or requirements.
Result: Test and evaluation report + practical recommendations for safer and more circular material decisions.
Option A: Data sheet analysis
Option B: Laboratory analysis

Result: Application-specific solution packages that are technically feasible and regulatory compliant.
Taxonomy scan per product
Structured evaluation of a selected product/application (material system, process) using a taxonomy-compliant methodology, specially adapted to composite materials.
Result: Clearly structured taxonomy dashboard (incl. alignment hotspots and „low-hanging fruit“) + prioritized fields of action.

Description: Analysis and overview of realistic recycling paths (mechanical/thermal/chemical/co-processing), depending on system, geometry and volume.
Result: Implementable circularity strategy (towards partial or closed-loop solutions).
Evaluation of recycling partners
