Volvo develops demonstration vehicles at the material level with post-consumer recycled plastics

HC Plastics News:

The Borealis Daplen Polypropylene (PP) compound grade consists of PCR plastics and raw materials and is used in some applications and components of a hybrid SUV from Volvo, a leading luxury car manufacturer. The car, which was recently unveiled at the "Ocean Summit" in Gothenburg, Sweden, highlights the ambitions of the two companies, that is, at least 25% of the new Volvo cars are made from sustainable materials. production.

In Europe, the EU's End-of-Life Vehicle Directive has led to higher material recovery and recycling rates for passenger cars and light vehicles, while automakers are more interested in finding alternative ways to reduce the environmental impact of their vehicles. . Polyolefin-based automotive applications have always been a viable alternative to materials such as aluminum and traditional engineering plastics because they help to reduce weight while still ensuring high performance standards. If you can combine PCR materials with virgin plastics to produce high-end grade materials that are reliable and have long-term quality consistency, some automotive applications can even become more sustainable. The use of PCR materials helps to use natural resources more sensibly and produce less waste.

In 2014, Borealis launched the PP compounding solution with PCR plastics for automotive applications as one of the first leading polyolefin suppliers. This Daplen-grade portfolio, developed in Europe and containing PCR, meets the industry's need for safe, accessible and low-quality recycled materials. Importantly, the performance and cost effectiveness of PCR grade materials is equivalent to native materials, and the PCR Daplen grade has the potential to be used in a variety of interior, exterior and under the hood (UTB) applications.

As a major supplier to Volvo Cars, Borealis is one of the suppliers of PCR-based solutions for the special Volvo XC60T8 plug-in hybrid SUV, providing nearly 10 kg of PCR material for the demonstration vehicle. % usage. Although the car may look like the current model on the market, the truth is quite different: more than 170 parts, usually made of traditional plastic, are now made from lightweight recycled materials, including PCR-based Nordic Chemical grade two grades of Daplen material were used to produce five different parts: Daplen MD 325SY material with 25% PCR was used for one UTB application (outer fan belt cover); Daplen ME 225SY material with 25% PCR was For interior and exterior applications, including seat belt shells mounted on the left and right hand side, D-pillar top cover, rear tailgate sash and warning triangle.
