Sustainable materials for the mobility of tomorrow
The automotive industry is facing major challenges: CO₂ reduction, recyclability and the use of environmentally friendly materials. Conventional components are often made from petroleum-based plastics - but there are sustainable alternatives.
Mycelium - The natural solution
Mycelium, the root system of fungi, grows on organic waste, requires little energy to produce and is biodegradable. It therefore offers a forward-looking alternative to conventional materials.
