  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Vartega Carbon 
Fiber Recycling for winning the 2016 Innovative Technology Award from 
the Jeffco EDC.
   The award recognizes a company that is on the forefront of new and 
advanced technologies and show leadership in the industries of 
aerospace, aviation, bioscience, energy, photonics, nontechnology or 
the like.
   Founded in 2014, Vartega is a technology development company 
specializing in the carbon fiber-reinforced plastic recycling process. 
Repurposing scrap materials, their innovative technology and processes 
enables them to provide low-cost carbon fiber for mass-market 
applications while maximizing the environmental benefit of carbon 
fiber. Using low-cost recycled carbon fiber, the Vartega process helps 
to reduce fuel consumption and waste, and it diverts thousands of tons 
of waste from landfills each year.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Vartega Carbon Fiber 
Recycling for this well-deserved recognition from the Jeffco EDC.
