In July this year, the EU released the proposal for a new End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) regulation that defines not only what has to be done at the end-of-life of cars, but also what measures need to be taken for new vehicles brought on the market. It contains specific measures for plastic materials, which include also…
Natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFRP) combine a promising potential for lightweight applications with a significant carbon footprint reduction, compared to conventional fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). Additionally, the specific material properties of natural fibres can enable further advancements, regarding e.g. low density, low material costs and high damping properties. Especially for applications in mobility, these properties…

…this well-worn phrase actually works slightly different. But improving existing parts and technologies is often the best way to get the most out of a minimal investment. In this context, the question arises: can components that are currently produced in high volumes in the injection moulding process be optimised in terms of their carbon footprint…
