    Grupo Antolin has developed a roof substrate that is thermoformed from post-consumer plastic waste and polyurethane foam made from used tires
    .

    Grupo Antolin has partnered with BASF SE to develop a manufacturing process for the material through chemical recycling
    .
    At a press conference on the 22nd, the company announced that it has validated and introduced the material in a European electric vehicle that has just hit the market

    .

    Javier Blanco, Sustainability Director at Grupo Antolin, said in a press release: “We will further deploy this strategy with our customers around the world
    .
    Our next project, due to launch in 2022, uses recycled core PU foam and will use recycled Renewable electricity for production

    .

    Enrique Fernandez, Senior Engineering Director of Grupo Antolin Overhead Systems, said: "This project is a step towards more sustainable automotive interiors and a huge leap forward in wet PU technology
    .
    "

    The part looks and performs "exactly" like a standard headliner, according to the press release
    .

    According to the report, 50 percent of the component's weight is recycled material
    .
    Materials such as textiles, core foam and residue from the plastic skylight reinforcement frame were used that could not otherwise be recycled
