🚀 Composites Breaking Boundaries 🚀 Let's talk about ✨Sustainable composite materials NAFILean-R and rCF NFPP✨ Faurecia is the market leader in sustainable vehicle interiors and has set itself the goal of reducing the CO2 footprint of its materials by 87 percent by 2030. The portfolio of NAFILean and NFPP biocomposite materials, which are used for instrument panels, center consoles and door trim, for example, makes a decisive contribution to this objective. NAFILean-R is a fully recyclable composite material based on natural fibers (e.g. hemp). It consists of around 20 percent organic content in combination with a polypropylene matrix that is up to 100 percent recycled. This results in a weight reduction of up to 25 percent. rCF NFPP (recycled Carbon Fiber Natural Fibers and Polypropylene) is a novel composite material consisting of 40 percent natural fibers, 50 percent polypropylene and 10 percent recycled carbon fibers. The combination with natural as well as recycled carbon fibers achieves a weight reduction that reduces the greenhouse potential by up to 50 percent. Faurecia Interiors' sustainable composite materials NAFILean-R and rCF NFPP won German Innovation Award in 2022.

#industrialhemp just never ceases to amaze me. Here is another example of how hemp is being embraced by industry of all types. #biocomposites using #hempfiber are lighter, stronger and of course more sustainable than current #fiberglass products. It is exactly this type of forward thinking innovation that permits #industrydevelopment. How can #Pakistan engage in these #emergingmarkets? #hempcanhelp #pakistanhemp #industrialhemp

Hemp fiber is gaining popularity in the automotive industry due to its lightweight, strong, and sustainable properties. It is commonly used to reinforce plastics in car interiors, such as door panels, dashboards, and seat backs, helping reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. Hemp fiber is also favored for its eco-friendly nature, as it is biodegradable and requires less energy to produce than traditional synthetic materials. Companies like BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche have incorporated hemp composites into their vehicles. For example, BMW uses hemp in some interior components to enhance sustainability, while Audi has explored using natural fibers like hemp in electric vehicles.
