As the issue is so urgent, we should use all avenues and ideas that lead us toward sustainable mobility. Reducing CO2 emissions, meeting recycling targets and improving air quality are industry challenges we are all facing. The limited availability of fossil fuels and climate change call for more efficient cars and lower emissions. “We create chemistry for a sustainable future” – according to this principle, we develop chemistry that drives us forward while producing a reduced environmental footprint.
As an approach to a more sustainable future, the team succeeded in developing a backrest including a headrest that follows the “one material” approach: Many parts in the car interior are made from the same material family. This makes mechanical recycling easier at the end of the product life cycle. At the same time, the 3D printing process ensures low-waste production and a durable material for a long product life cycle.
