(Boursier.com) — Faurecia a Forvia group company, and Veolia Environment have signed a cooperation and research agreement to jointly develop innovative compounds for car interior modules aiming to reach 30% recycled content on average by 2025.
Through this partnership, the two companies will be able to accelerate the European deployment of revolutionary solutions for more sustainable vehicle interiors, such as dashboards, door panels and center consoles.
Veolia will start producing secondary raw materials at its existing recycling sites in France from 2023.
This strategic partnership will make it possible to pool the complementary expertise of the two companies for the development of sustainable compounds, strict requirements in terms of automotive architecture, supply and innovative preparation of industrial and post-consumer plastic waste. This project, established in cooperation with Faurecia, will thus enable Veolia to extend its range of automotive components inside vehicles. In 2011, Faurecia was the first automotive supplier to present a full range of bio-composite cockpit solutions with NAFILean. More than a decade later and present in around 13 million vehicles, the CO2 footprint of these products is 28% lower than their conventional all-plastic counterparts.
