Abstract
Polymeric compositions, methods of making the compositions, and composites, such as computer chassis containing the compositions are described. The polymeric compositions can contain 20 wt. % to 50 wt. % of a post-consumer mechanical recycled polycarbonate; 10 wt. % to 50 wt. % of a renewably sourced polycarbonate; 10 wt. % to 30 wt. % of a filler containing carbon fibers, wherein at least a portion of the carbon fibers are obtained from a post-industrial recycled source; and 5 wt. % to 15 wt. % of a flame retardant, wherein the polymeric compositions have a total recycled and renewable content of 50 wt. % to 90 wt. %.
