A European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) study found that the production of clothing and footwear is responsible for about 10% of annual carbon emissions – which is higher than all international flights and maritime shipping emissions combined – using around 79 billion cubic meters of water annually.

If, in the process, the solution delivered a lighter-weight part that would be a great value add for Mars Otomotiv’s customers, which were always trying to cut weight to reduce the carbon emissions of the their vehicles.

Natural ABS formulation enables improved color consistency, operational efficiency Working together, the team developed a natural ABS formulation with an additive package that provided consistent color along with heat-stabilizing properties. The immediate result of the new ABS material was elimination of the automaker’s color consistency issues.

Using recycled materials is one way to attract eco-conscious consumers, but also to prepare for possible future legislation as governing bodies are looking to reduce carbon emissions. This is mainly due to carbon black content.

Examples of industrial fabric applications include ballistic fabric, narrow fabric, fall protection, lacing tape, protective sleeving, recreational composites, and carbon hybrid fabrics.

These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits, supporting the circular economy, and reducing product carbon footprint.
