Challenge Description

Highly filled polymer compounds are based on petroleum derived polymer and CaCo3 fillers.

To reduce CO₂ emission, could it be possible to use bio-based polymers and/or bio-based fillers?

Bio-based polymer and/or bio based filler :

• Could be one or the other. What makes more sense?
• Can one compensate the other?

Envisaged material properties:

• Density target : 1.6 – 1.8 kg/liter
• Elongation target : 100 %

For reference, typical petroleum based polymers can be:

• Poly Olefin elastomer
• EVA
• EPDM

Life cycle assessment

• Demonstration of negative CO2
• Cradle to gate calculation

Implementation Partner: Autoneum

Autoneum is the global market and technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles and partner for automobile manufacturers around the world.

The Company develops and produces components that enhance a quiet and comfortable driving experience with a low environmental impact at the same time.
