Presentation

Designing EPP for reduced carbon footprint and closed-loop recycling

Future total cost of ownership is expressed in carbon footprint. JSP, a global raw material supplier, is leading the design of EPP systems for closed-loop recycling to meet the Green Deal. Using certified closed-loop raw materials is key. EPP solutions using structural inserts and fixation points are a challenge for closed-loop recycling upon vehicle dismantling. Case studies will show practical solutions that can be implemented in the design and manufacturing process of high-precision interior components to minimize the carbon footprint during the full lifecycle. Savings in terms of weight, production cost and ultimately carbon footprint will be highlighted.
