TRANSPORTATION
The transportation market is undergoing exponential expansion as regards bioplastic materials.
There are three primary areas of application:
- Injected parts, which can be made using biosourced polymers like Polyamides (fuel pipes, under-the-hood parts), Polycarbonates (optics) or even biocomposites using wood, flax, or hemp fibres for structural or decorative parts.
- Textile fibres for decoration (seats, door panels, etc.) made of biosourced PET, PLA or Sorona fibre (PTT)
- Flexible foams for seats made of biosourced PUR.
Using biosourced polymers allows for an improvement in the environmental performance in the long term.
