    The latest Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) found that the Mae\zio continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite laptop case, manufactured by Covestro (Leverkusen, Germany), can significantly reduce the consumption of more than 70% compared to conventional aluminum-magnesium allo.


    The LCA study, conducted in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 and reviewed by an independent LCA panel of experts led by DEKRA Assurance Service (Stuttgart, Germany), compared a comprehensive set of parameters to evaluate the performance of Class A laptop casings made from two materia.


    Lisa Ketelsen, head of the Thermoplastic Composites business at Covestro, said: "Thermoplastic composites are ideal for producing thinner, lighter and stronger components for future IT equipme.


    Compared with aluminum-magnesium alloys, Mae\zio composites can reduce the weight by about 15%, and the composite A-class shells have similar good bending and torsional stiffness compared with metal materia.


    Previously, in 2017, Covestro won the European Plastics Innovation Award for its new generation of notebook composite A-class enclosur.
