BPF webinar: Building cars with recycled plastic – Designing with Sustainable components

Published:

There are 37.5 million cars on the road in the UK – how many of them use recycled plastic?

In this British Plastics Federation (BPF) Sustainability Series webinar, Axion Director Keith Freegard explains the benefits and pitfalls for designers interested in moving to a more sustainable material choice.  He will take you on a journey into recycled vehicles, exploring:

  • The reasons to switch to using sustainable polymers in motor car design
  • Which plastics are readily available from the end-of-life motor vehicle reprocessors
  • The benefits versus risks in materials selection
  • A look at what the future holds

The car industry has to join the rest of the UK in moving towards a circular economy. This requires designers and manufacturers take action to ensure that recycling is paramount; this webinar will lead the way.
