- In November 2024, Covestro partnered with Chinese plastics recycling company Ausell to enhance the recycling of plastics from end-of-life vehicles. Their collaboration focuses on converting discarded automotive headlamps into high-quality post-consumer recycled (PCR) polycarbonates for use in new automotive applications. Both companies are committed to driving the circular transformation of the automotive industry and creating a strong market for recycled automotive plastics, particularly in China
- In August 2024, Novares, a global manufacturer of automotive plastic parts, took a significant step toward sustainability by incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics into vehicle interior components. The company is using Terluran ECO GP-22 MR50, a mechanically recycled PCR ABS containing 50% recycled content, produced by INEOS Styrolution. This material preserves the properties of virgin ABS, such as excellent impact resistance and heat distortion resistance, making it an ideal drop-in replacement for various interior components, including door trims, dashboards, and seat parts
